You cannot be a Jew if you are not a Jew by blood. Jewish people always make this claim, especially, for example, when they talk about how Nazis determined who is Jewish or not. Just be comfortable in your own skin - Jewish or not. If you do not have even a basic respect for where you came from, then do not expect others to accept you or care at all no matter who they are.
If your conversion wasn’t orthodox you aren’t a Jew according to Jewish law, ie according to the Torah, ie according to Hashem, anyway, so who cares. That’s why the Israeli said it. Not that converts aren’t Jews, just that it has to be a real conversion. Judging by your at a shul giving aliyah to a woman, your conversion was a sham
Congratulation you made it our Jewish neighbors daughter married a guy converted for her to the Judaism in the night of the wedding pronouncing the husband and wife in his speech he said and we are very sad that our girl she marry to gentile man is not the Jew. He piss him so off after he converted for his lover to marry her
You are not Jewish. Get off the back of true Jews in Manhattan and look for another job. Stop pretending to be a rabbi...you are a charlatan, crook, and a piece of shit. P E R I O D
That's an incredible journey to be on. I enjoy participating in Shabbat every week by watching Central Synagogue each Friday. Angela and her fellow Cantors etc are beautiful people
I feel sad that her books aren't available anymore. Her book on learning memory in 10 lessons is very well written. That said, unsure if i fully improved or not but its still helpful
My son and daughter knew of a wonderful Jewish family and this lady was absolutely beautiful when we had an opportunity to share in a Jewish celebration and we are Muslim but she transcended every single religion.
There is no Judaism - a Jew is from the tribe of Judah and there are no Jews today - today there are only Israel and Khazar eshkenazi are not Israel ,there is the religion of Abraham - the reliogion of peace and in Arabic Islam .You canot convert to be Israel - only by merige - paying a Rabi money and studing the Torah dosnt makes you Israel .
@@gabrielleangelica1977 the Jews (tribe of Judah ) came from yemen and got mixed with the tribes of Israel (spharadic and mizrachi - are the same ) - the Mshiach wil be a yemenite jew

Love jews. Detest Holocaust. Love this woman. But, hate Israel's colonization of Palestine. This is an opportunity for the jews of the world to win the love of non-western peoples of the world, a vast majority of them feel the way I do. And, it's not going to change unless you give fair treatment to the owners of the land.
Islam is not welcoming. Islam takes away women's rights to education and to think and dress freely. Islam condones paedophilia, rape, abduction of non-Muslim girls, cuts people's heads and hands off, kills gay people, polygamy, celebrates Oct 7, '23 genocidal attack, uses it's civilians as human shields, teaches children to hate and kill Jews and Christians. What is welcoming about Islam? It's an abusive death cult. Turn to the God of Israel - He alone is good He welcomes people as sons and daughters. Allah only wants slaves and martyrs and violence.
My wife is Taiwanese and a convert , both my wife and son have had the usual struggles ( thank G-D nothing major ) in life thankfully never with Judaism
I'm so confused, I thought she meant "Aliyah" as in ascending and immigrating to the land of Israel and becoming an Israeli citizen. When I realized she was talking about reading from the Torah I felt very alienated as if she was talking of another religion or cult I was not aware existed as here in Israel we are by a large majority Orthodox even if we're secular and a woman reading from the Torah in front of everyone is something that I've never seen in my life even having gone to probably close to a hundred different synagogues and is something that is to me extremely bizarre and eerie. Sorry I don't mean to belittle your experience or story, I'm glad you feel connected. Just sharing my perspective if it interests anyone.
In the US I don't remember the last time I saw a male Rabbi in a marriage ceremony outside the Orthodox Ceremonies. Other than Orthodox there are more female Rabbis today. I grew up Conservative and never saw a Female Rabbi until about 1990!
Followers of Judaism are not required to be from the semitic people knows as Israelites or Hebrews. Judaism is a religion. Just as Christians do not have to have DNA free of semitic ancestry. Or Muslims having to possess DNA of one of the four Arabian populations. Religious beliefs and practices are just that...beliefs and practices. The Jewish populations that have the genetic traits of the Levant peoples are those with ancestry originating in the Middle East, where as the Ashkenazi Jews, have more genetically in common with the southern areas of Europe. That isn't to say the Ashkenazi Jews aren't Jewish, but they are less and some even not related to the peoples from ancient Middle Eastern civilizations. That is all...just biological markers that point to where their ancestors first territory of residence. The religious beliefs are the same. And while on this area of discussion, I am also compelled to say ZIONISM is a political ideology...not a religious sect of Judaism. And actually to refer to someone as a devout Zionist Jew is rather like saying a devout ProChoice Catholic.. not meaning an offense to any religion...that was the most oppositional label I could think of on the fly.. A devout Catholic would not be in favor of a political ideology supporting pregnancy termination....just as a devout follower of Judaism would support theft of land and genocide and murder of the people that own it. In fact before ZIONISM was even an idea, Muslims, Christians, and Jewish people all loved peacefully in the same territory where now no peace has been present for over 50 years. That makes it relatively clear the issue isn't Islamic vs Jewish vs Christian ....but all three verses ZIONISM and the resistance that further developed to terrorist groups aimed at stopping the ZIONISM use of violence and nationalism (turned to what many call Israel a Terrorist Nation for the extreme brutality of its militant acts) to achieve its goals. So remember, Zionist and Jewish are not identical. Like radical extremist doesn't describe every Muslim, nor does extreme right wing describe every Christian. Evil people exist everywhere and practice every religion..
I just happen to have the opinion after studying decades...centuries... of history, that modern day Israel is under Zionist rule in their government, and that Zionism IS NOT in line with the tenants Judaism stresses as fundamental to its core beliefs.
You are part of the Zionist propaganda campaign snd are in favour off the ethics cleaning of Palestine that makes you gulty of the genocide carried out in your name
Once again, the children and angels of Gaza defeated the criminal IDF soldiers and the evil supporters. Remember 1948 Deir Yassin massacre = Palestinian Auschwitz committed by the survivors of the holocaust. Boycott apartheid genocidal Israel.
