    I cried after the first bit. I felt this in the very essence of my being.
    I grew up Baptist, I dabbled in pagan idolatry and then settled on atheism.
    It took some serious spiritual awakening and I've begun my journey

    I made a formal conversion to Orthodox Judaism almost 50 years to the day that I had a “born-again” experience. My listening to such programs on ‘Jews for Judaism’ and ‘Jewish Outreach’. It is never too late to be “Born-Again” again to a beautiful Torah Life full of HaShem’s Light and Love. Thankyou for your much needed videos!

    My journey was quite a bit like your's from Catholicism to Born Again Christian and still unanswered questions. So I went to the Jews and I was not disappointed. I didn't know religion could make sense. I didn't understand why "I" had these questions while other Christians I knew ... didn't. Then came the internet and I knew I wasn't alone. I listened, I learned and I didn't say WHAT??? I said Ahhh. No one had to convince me. No one tried to scare me. No one said I had to convert or perish. As Rabbi Scobac said there isn't a crack between Judaism and Christianity, there is a chasm. I've climbed out of that chasm and I thank Hashem and his chosen for it. I will also be checking out Daniel's channel. Inspiring testimonial. :o)

    I journeyed from conservative Protestantism to Judaism in my young adulthood too. It is inspiring to see that I am not alone

    That's exactly the kind of person we need. Someone who actually wants to teach people about God and not turn them away. May HaShem bless you!

    Boy, can I relate!! Sounds like my journey, except I tried to be Baptist. Didn't work but I did try for a long time. I have doubted just about everything in life, except that G-d is real. Never doubted that at all!

    Not a fan of organized religion but if I had to pick one, I'd probably go with Judaism. I like the "fairness" & justice aspect and the whole arguing the Talmud thing. It's one religion that encourages you to use your brain rather than turn it off. I don't know if that goes equally for women but hopefully so.

    I'm a very devout Orthodox Christian, but it's really cool what you guys are doing. I really love learning about traditional Jewish culture and theology. Even though I disagree with some of what you say, it's so great to learn to approach the Tanach by looking at it from a Jewish perspective. I find your insights both thoughtful and inspiring. I find myself wanting to serve God more fully, and I've even starting learning Hebrew so I can read and understand the original texts. I've really learned a lot about Judiasm from these videos (and through chabad.org) Keep up the amazing work so that I can keep learning, and growing to understand and appreciate Jewish thought and culture.

    I was born into a Babtist family and believe as a Protestant , to a point. I have always felt there should be “ more “ . I have been in need of speaking to a Rabbi. I live in an area that
    Has no Judaism . Any Suggestions ? At All ? Thanks

    This man is perfect to witness to Christians. He has been there and made it out. Like a former drug addict has been there done that, and therefore ‘legit’ to counsel drug addicts, so this fine gentleman’s lived experiences makes his testimony a legit example to guide Christians to the truth. 🕎
