    A secular Israeli Jew here. While we all experience very dark days , there comes a shiny story to enlighten my day.
    I am proud that Yehuda is part of our community. We are blessed now with an intelligent , likeable and positive new member of our Diverse Jewish community.
    Please come for a visit here in Israel, when days get a bit better :)

    This is one of the most incredible and inspiring stories I have ever heard! Thank you for inviting him to your podcast. It really shows and proves that anyone can do Teshuvah - You are NEVER too far gone. Hashem accepts everyone! G'mar Chasimah Tovah!!!

    He didn’t become (suddenly) sweet and nice, he was already sweet and nice and that is what Judaism does: it makes you see what gifts you have and who you are.

      ​@@bukikaholmes1172 Oh yeah he was sweet & nice because that's what Judaism does. Ask that to my Pale-stini'an Christian family who was chased out at gun point by your people' slaughtered
      In fact let's go deeper when those things was happening in Germany from 1933 & it was my people who was sending visas to your people ' oh it gets better but your much loved David Gurn _David Ben-Gurion & his Nakba militants didn't want poor uneducated people there & was making the ships go back. Yeah you have a great religion.❤

      Judaism is a beautiful deep and ancient faith. The original given by G-d himself. I’ve been studying and looking into it as well. But I’m already happy, fulfilled and love Islam. Being that they tell us non Jews not to convert and just be a Noahide, plus all the super strict 613 laws and rules And keeping Shabbat, I know I couldn’t do all that. 😆 I need something that I can handle and resonates with me.

    • @business-addict
      @business-addict Год назад +1

      @@zealousideal "Being that they tell us non Jews not to convert and just be a Noahide" This is due to judaism being a one for all religion, as God sees the Jewish nation as one, and therefore a fellow jew who is "failing" is hurting the jewish sould for all jews. That is why Rabbis and Judaism makes it a strenuous process to go through the conversion, to validate that you are indeed serious about becoming a jew. But yes, nonetheless as a so of Noah you are commanded to keep the commandments (Mitzvot) he was commanded. God bless

Having grown up in a chasidic community FFB, I took for granted many of he things that I have. For example, your reverence and appreciation for tefilin is something I will cherish from now on even more. May you see nachas from your lovely family. P.S. I loved how you were the one doing kiruv with your wife. I can't wait for you to write a book it will be a great chizuk for all of us.

    I am especially intrigued that what attracted Yehuda to Judaism is the ACTION component. Not everyone wants to do the hard work for gaining anything at all. I am also impressed that he went for a well respected Bais Din. As Rabbi Tatz says,"the only people who know for sure that they are Jews are the converts."

    I have a son that has a wonderful soul but he needs lots of help. Like Dr. Yehuda mentioned how important was to receive help from his mother I'm doing also for my son and perhaps this video came to me by the grace of H-shem I don't know how but I see a connection between my son's unfortunate life and Dr. Yehuda please let him know if he can pray for my son and ask H-shem if he can help my son... He's right now in a place for more than 2 month with no right of visitation and sick. He said the night before he couldn't sleep. The difficulties are many for me to help him. Please pray for him I really believe he can be saved😢
