You definitely should! I am currently in the process of converting. My advice is to see if there are any synagogues near you and don't hesitate to contact them! They should give you all the information you need and be able to answer all your questions. You can also attend a few services if you want, as long as you notify the synagogue beforehand. (Also, make sure the synagogue you choose is part of the denomination you want to convert to). First and foremost, you have to take 2 courses before you move on to the rest of the conversion process: Introduction to Judaism and Choosing Judaism. The synagogue should have them. Just ask when they have sessions available. The overall process should take no more than a year. But it will be worth it! I promise!

Shalom! This Friday evening I will celebrate and observe Shabbat (the real and correct one) for the 2nd time ever in my life (I will turn 70 years old next week...Last week I simply rested and studied the word, as I did not know what else to do...but I watched your video and took notes, so this Shabbat I will do what you taught me...today I bought my first loaf of Challah bread. I want to keep JeHoVah's commandments! because I love Him! Thank you!

Thanks a lot! I just started working in a Condominium building which has majority of Jewish people. I was asked to put the elevator on service for Shabbat. So, the person doesn't have to call the elevator. The elevator just continuosly moves up and down while stopping on each floor. This prevents people from calling the elevator or pressing the switch for the elevator. This was a bit difficult for me to understand. But, your video has given me a great insight to Shabbat. So, thanks a lot again!

Your channel is making me realized how subconsciously connected I feel to Judaism it’s so peaceful and beautiful! I really want to try Shabbat one day

I know very little about Judaism and have no one in my life who is Jewish, but I really loved this video because it was so easy to understand even as someone with no knowledge and your absolute joy talking about your faith was infectious. I learned a lot about Shabbat from this video, 99% of which I didn’t know prior, so thank you :)

I love it that you call this a holiday and Celebration!

I love Shabbat because it is a commandment. There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. I am Christian and I partake and celebrate Shabbat. Thank you for this video. G_d bless you!

Great comment... Shabbat should be MANDATORY for all in American law

@selahchunem8447

Жыл бұрын

Not sure what you mean in American law. Does That means the United States should legalize a commandment or laws that requires stores to be closed and no commercial businesses to be open like bars, movie theaters, so forth like it was years ago during Sunday when people thought that the sabbath was changed to that and kept it wholly that way. But we know that the sabbath is a sabbath the seventh day. Sunday is the 1st day of the week and the sabbath was never changed just people did it for religious reasons. Unfortunately if you legislate something like that it will be no different than the last days when the Vatican and the papal rule will mandate that everything is closed and everyone worships on the 1st day of the week Sunday again. schools will be closed stores will be closed no buying of conducting business. No working.This includes for the Jews as well as christians that keep the sabbath. We have to do this because we love God and he commands us to keep the sabbath. We followed his laws and his ways not man's ways. Do you say that's more reasonable and more spiritually true? 🙂

Thank you for this nice introduction to Shabbat. I have been invited to celebrate for the first time with my Israeli friends! Shalom Shabbat!

We found out years ago that we are part Jewish, bc we were both born into strict Catholic households. I love the Jewish people, we have Jewish friends who are lovely people. God bless you.

Marion, this is a beautiful video. I was brought up very secular, even declared myself an atheist at one point!

I am a non-practicing Catholic but I think the Jewish religion so fascinating and beautiful and the one thing I incorporated in my home was our own version of the Sabbath and in my case it’s turning off all devices and it’s a freedom to know that I cannot check my email every hour or waste my time on the Internet. I like the idea of going off the grid for a certain amount of time to recharge our batteries.😊

I love the story about the challah cover. How wonderful for Max and Corey Bear to have such a fun memory from your childhood ... and now it's part of of theirs.

I'm an ex-Christian, and only recently discovered I feel *really* connected to Judaism. I was raised in a diverse area (my church was a block away from a Greek Othodox church. I've started limiting my phone use from Friday evenings to Saturday nights.

Thank you so much for these videos. I love them! I too am a convert and although I've been celebrating Shabbat on my own for many years (prior to conversion), I'm learning new things through your videos. I'm at the other end of the spectrum, though. Single with no children, so Shabbat is very different for me. Looking forward to more videos. Hopefully a havdallah one and some recipes!

This is awesome, I love learning families religious practice. I actually grew up in a Shia household, and we had a gethering every Thursday night, to recite prayers that welcomes the awaited Mahdi. See, Shia Muslims are expecting that the coming Messiah will be arriving on a Thursday, so will have a Majlis, basically about that. I'm not Muslim now, but I noticed that many Jewish things remind me of my Islamic upbringing. Today I actually practice Hinduism, and I'm very happy and grateful in that now, but yes , I enjoy various cultures, and Judaism is one my favorite.

Marion, to avoid the prohibition of tearing on Shabbat my mom and grandmother would sit at the kitchen table and measure out a length of toilet paper and then roll them into balls and keep a basket full of these paper balls in each bathroom. On Friday afternoon in preparation of Shabbat they would go and remove the rolls and place one of the baskets out in the bathroom for use on Shabbat. I still do this to this day.

It's great to have traditions. We have adapted the blessing though as there is no Torah command to light the candles for Shabbat.

The reason that I like for lighting two candles is that Only G-d and He alone can divide the Holy from the profane .In lighting two candles He lights the way that we may find His Holiness.

This was so lovely. Can I ask you a question? I mostly see two candles for Shabbat. But have often seen videos with several lit at one time. Someone once told me they light a candle for every family member (although I think traditionally two are usually featured in any imagery I see about Shabbat). Are both usually done as the family grows? Or are more than two unnecessary? Or is it ....up too you? Thank you for sharing. 💗🙏🌺

Interesting, Greeks have a similar bread called choureki, traditionally it is eaten during easter or pascha. I might be wrong but I think it is called pascha for Jewish people too. I actually looked this up because I did some research on Judaism and was amazed to see how much Greeks and Jewish people have learned from one another and even assimilated certain aspects of each others culture. Even our flags are the same color! God bless.

Actually Paska and Pascha mean Easter (also the Easter bread eaten in Ukraine is called Paskha) but it was taken from the Aramaic word for Peasach.. If you notice the timing for Easter is always around Passover. If you actually translate the word Passover(NOT Easter ) into Ukrainian and Greek...the word is the word for Easter!
