I am a jew, extremely secular, I have watched this amazing story and cried through it all. A story of freedom and justice. Thank you, from a lonely jew living in Brazil. Am Yisrael Chai
G-D has led you here...the door is open to come home to Torah. Wishing you brachot (blessings) & gevurah (strength). I came to Torah 35 years ago...and miss nothing about being a secular Jew.
@@farhatjabeen2904It’s a religion, a race, a culture with a 3800 year history. Hitler, yemach shemo/May his name be erased…slaughtered us because he declared us an inferior RACE. We are a people attached to the land and pray facing where our Holy Temples/Beit HaMikdash stood and where the 3rd one will be built…bim heira v’yameinu/speedily in our days!!! We are Am Yisrael/the People Israel attached eternally to our G-D Given land devoted to HaShem and His Torah. We cannot be torn from any of these parts which make up the sum of the Jewish people.
Baruch Bar-u-ch ( Bar betekend ook sluitboom ( H-as-hem - H-als-hem ) ( Barmizwa- eig .: zoon des gebods- Denk wat het werkelijke betekenis is van deze ZOON DES GEBODS ,WIE GAF DE GEBODEN UIT AAN MOSES, WIE LEERDE ONS DE GEBODEN BETER TE BEGRIJPEN DE ZOON VAN DE GEBODSGEVER GOD ( van achter naar voor Awz-I-M-rab) B-arm-i-zwa ) Hoe oud was Jesus toen hij optrad voor het eerst in een tempel 12-13 jaar
This has nothing to do with the fulfillment of the messianic prophecies. The Tanakh teaches that God abandoned the Jews who rejected their King and their God Jesus and called his servants by another name which is "Christians".
thank you for this, I cried.... It reminded me of when I was converting and davening to HaShem to please take me out of the "mizraim" I was stuck in at that time.

I just visited Colombia and travelled to Medellín. Looking for an Orthodox shul i was introduced to R. Elad. I davened there for about a month. There are I think, about 300 families of extremely modest means but fully committed to Judaism. I said I'd try to collect money to donate Chumashim and siddurim but I'm thrilled to learn that R. Gold is well connected and this dream is now reality. Next goal, remodel or rebuild. The house (shul) is way too small for the community... I know HaShem listens. As an added note, one member bakes challot for the community and they make their own grape juice, etc. Since commercial wine and kosher products are very expensive they learn and they solve the problems. I consider it a privilege to have had the honor to daven there. Thank you for spreading the word about these amazing group of Jews.
Great testimony! I’m a Christian and keep Shabbat and observe Jewish holidays. I love Israel and pray that all the Jewish people that were hurt by so called Christians forgive those people. It’s not right at all what was done to them. Those people shouldn’t call themselves Christians. GBY!
Those who demanded conversion to their nonchristian beliefs actually do not believe in the God of Israel, and His Son Yehauh, but are lost in deception sadly. My prayer is for the desendants of Abraham, who i love dearly, is to know the most famous Jew ever, YEHAUH, the MESSIAH
It's very nice that you're trying to follow the ways of Hashem. That being said, you be a noachide. If you want to concert, then until you do, you're forbidden to keep 100% of the Sabbath. That's part of the covenant between Hashem and the Jews.
@@Hughf2Hugh, I believe this man is like I am. I am a Christian. That said, I would give up my very life for the Jews and/or Israel. There is scripture in OUR new testament that tells us, once we become believers in the Yeshua, that we automatically are grafted into the tree and become spiritual Jews. I think this is what the man….in his heart…..is doing, however, he sounds extremely young and in his heartfelt endeavor, he thinks that by following Jewish tradition, it makes him CLOSER to the Jewish people and nation that he loves. Just a wee bit overzealous is what I call it. But, pure in his heart. By the way, TRUE Christians are standing with you about the evil Hamas folks. I am thrilled beyond words that Netanyahu is not giving in to the pressure from USA’s administration. Ever heard of Behold Israel ? It is an app I use on Telegram, and we get tons of daily updates on the war. God Bless Israel and the Jews. I have a Jewish friend who stays glued to Behold Israel for the news.❤️
We are winning the war and this is the month of Adar where HaShem Tells us we are to be brimming with JOY!!! He Is Performing so many miracles for ALL of us…it is way too numerous to count. Yes…this is an inspirational story but observant Jews worldwide are not despairing…we know that HaShem Fights and Wins ALL of our wars…ancient and modern.
Such a beautiful and emotional story!! How much I admire you rabbi Elad, and family, indeed it was a long path to discovered yourself and to build such a great and intriguing community! God bless you and all who converted to Judaism ! ❤
Rab Gold thank you so much for sharing this incredible and powerful story they made me cry Odu H ki Tov KI Leolam jasdo for sure the gueula is getting closer and closer
I'm a Jew brought up secular in America. I found my way back through many miracles. Some that happened in India. I married a Rabbi and lived in Boro Park Brooklyn, and now in Lakewood NJ. I'm the only frum person in my family. I cried all through this because I know that Mashiach is just around the corner and all of the souls are coming home rignt now, right before our eyes. May Hashem hear our cries and bring Gaula with, Mercy, and without delay.
Bienvenidos a casa the Israel ❤ welcome home my dear brothers and sisters, you were missed so much. I'm sorry to hear how some still don't accept you, but continue to put your trust in HaShem, and he will provide. Sending you a lot of love and a great big hizuk from Israel ❤❤❤
Shalom from Haifa in the land of Israel. This video brought tears to my eyes, a very rare occurrence :-) May Goy bless this entire holy community and march us all on the path of God to eternal life In the courtyards of the house of haShem!
I am a secular Jew and I live in Israel. One day when I was out in my neighborhood feeding feral cats, an Arab man who worked in the neighborhood came towards me. He congratulated me for helping the cats and told me that he knows that his ancestors had converted from Jewdaism to Islam and that he is a Jew. This led me to learn about the phenomenon and I came across with Tsvi Misinai who published books about it and says that 90% of the Arabs living west to the Jordan river are Jews who converted to Islam
I think that is bullshit. There may be a tiny number of arabs with Jewish roots but not 90%!! And by now even those would have very little int he way of Jewish genetics either as that would hav been watered down with arab blood. Sad.
That really convinced me that the best thing Israel could have done for Palestine was to annex the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights back right after the Six Day War back in 1967 and declare the Palestinians, Arab Israelis. Who knows? They could all be Jewish today if Israel did that.
@@edwardmiessner6502Israel DID have Aza but in a stupid move they gave it away, literally pulled every Jew out of there, and gave it to the arabs in a bid for "peace". The arabs immediately destroyed all the beautiful infrastructure, and began to fire rockets at Israel and conduct terrorism. That was in 2005! What Israel needs to do is stop being so defensive and start to go on the Offats. When this war is over. Aza should be made Jewish again. All of Judaea and Samaria must be under total control of Israel, as it is the aboriginal, Jewish lines, the Jewish heartland of the nation. What happens to the Arabs there? I don't give a shit about. It's time for Israel to begin to speak a language that these antisemites understand, the language of fear. Only when they begin to fear the Jews, will they respect them.
@@edwardmiessner6502 not sure about them being Jewish again. I asked him.. so if You're Jewish you don't need to convert.. just join us and he replied that he's already deap down Islam and it will never happen
I met a beautiful man Leo Gold . Whilst volunteering in Israel. 2006 .He was a generous man, in every way. I pray for him , that this younger Gold , be related to him . REVELATION is coming to the world , Thank G d . ELOHIM , IS PURSUEING HIS OWN . THOSE WHOM HE HAS CALLED , Yeshua , His Son , is The Good Shepherd , I love this history ,YESHUA IS TORAH .
This Rabbi is so amazing. He and his family and his community should make all of us who were frum from birth ashamed for questioning them. They should not feel rejection. Being a Jew is not easy. Thank you Rabbi Gold for this story.
This is exactly why we must treat "gentiles" also with love and tremendous kindness because soon the Geula will reveal who needs to be brought back home!!! This is one of the most beautiful stories!!!
This made my day as a benech noach who yearn to be grafted into Mordchai the Yehudi. HaShem bless his resilience and perseverance,I am amazed and encouraged in my personal mitzvots and kiddush HaShem. B"H
Beautiful, it is so important for people to always reexamine their beliefs and follow the truth.. keep learning. Amazing story thank you for sharing. I’m crying
Seeing this miraculous story warmed my soul and brought me to tears of joy,so moving.thank you for sharing May we all very soon dance with joy to the Beit Midash
yes beautiful. i also am a believer of Yeshua learning abt the Hebrew roots of my faith. it has rocked my world!!! i am happy for all who learn it. it is amazing.
The Jewish roots are the roots of the Christian faith. Sadly, many mistakes have been made that caused division where unity should have prevailed. The assembly of believers in Yeshua must repent for the damage and division caused. But, to turn from Messiah Yeshua, I cannot do. To whom would I go? He has the words of life!
I am an American expat living in Bogota. I am also Jewish and spent several years in Israel. When I walk down the streets in Bogota, I see people that look so Israeli, so Sephardi Jewish. I have to wonder how many of them have Jewish ancestry. I'm sure it's not just a few, but many.
I so totally agree with you! I spent the High Holidays there last year and wondered the same thing. Many Jews emigrated during the Inquisition but it goes beyond that.
I was born in Medellin Colombia 🇨🇴 The man who recounts this harrowing experience of been kidnapped looks incredibly familiar. The story doesn't add up, though. How did he actually convert to Judaism? In the last few years, I have found out through DNA testing that I have some Jewish heritage. My identity, though, is deeply cemented in belief in the God of Israel and His Son, Yeshua.
Great story very touching to see haw Jewish people reconnecting to their roots after centuries gone by might Hashem the G.d of Avraham Isak and Jakov bless tham and keep tham and his light shine upon tham for evermore and give tham shalom

APRIL 28, 2016 The Faithful René and Juan Carlos set out to convert their Colombian megachurch to Orthodox Judaism. This is what happened. By Graciela Mochkofsky The California Sunday Magazine
I heard of them years ago, I even got in touch with one oficial the rabbi who performed the conversion as here in DR there are no possibility for conversion. I personaly converted in Canada as I am also Canadian others did in Puerto Rico bit there are Silk families Boeing to be vale yo convert. Keep doing this great mitzvah.
i have never seen holier purer jews than Rabbi Elad, his family and his community. my heart goes out to the pain he feels not being accepted. please know i pray to marry someone as pure as real as holy as someone in your community.. i have never seen greater enthusiasm. greater drive to do His will. im both humbled n awed. You will be the ones crowning the Mashiach..With love Chaya from the UK.
I'm Christian, I too am in the process of gathering people to build a community where there are not many of my denomination, and hope we grow. We believe in the same G-d. Bless you all.
INSANE STORY! Thank you, Rabbi, for making this possible. Guau. Por favor, diga el Rabino que su historia me conmovió. 😊 Siempre he querido visitar Colombia. Ahora, tengo aún más. (P.S. Soy bilingüe y judía.)
As a Cohenim Jew I agree with everything said in this short film except the renouncing of Yeshua as Messiah. Yeshua is the messiah of Israel. Read Psalm 22, Isaiah 53. Zechariah 12:20 days “Then I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer, and they will look on Me, the One they have pierced”
Common sense tells me that one who couldn't save himself can't save the Jews or the world. The Rabbis of that decided Jesus wasn't the Messiah and this was elaborated by Maimonides who clearly showed that Jesus did not fulfil the Halakhic requirements. The State of Israel, now 9 million strong and growing, being the beginning of Jewish redemption was achieved without Jesus or Mohammed. ניט געפלויג'ן און ניט געשטויג'ן.😊😊😊😊
a remarcable story. The inquisition was a very unfortunate event in the history of the church. many people, instead of facing the freedom which the cross of Christ was meant to bring to the world brought to people pain and forced changes to their lives having to give up precious beliefs, etnicity and traditions. I appreciate the convictions and genuinety of the pastor. I appreciate as well the fact that instead of losing heart whn captured by kidnappers the pastor pored over the scriptures which brought him strength and hope and the realisation that he was not alone. However I find it pitiful that the pastor ( so a trained person in the knowledge of the scriptures) instead of accepting his judaism as the preliminary step to Christ , he felt compelled to exclude him and even reject him, eventually leading to a mass exodus from christianity to judaism. I am a catholic but in love with israel, the bible and jewish traditions and celebrations. we hold the pesah as an important event in the family calender even though I know of no other family that celebrates it as a jewish ritual meal. I study hebrew and pray in hebrew reciting the shema daily etc. for me judaism is the promise fulfilled in christianity. I cannot understand that the pastor, who supposedly knew the scriptures well, knew that all the prophets prophesied the messiah and all the prophesies were fulfilled in Jesus, felt that instead of embracing judaism but retaining the lord Jesus as the target of judaism, felt the need to reject Christ the light in order to embrace the shadow......the promise, the announcement. I ask you dear pastor to reflect on what I am sharing with you. in the meantime may Ha shem bless you and your community with light from above. may jesus whom you served but rejected visit you like he did Paul and show you how much he loves you and how much you mean to him. May he also show you your role in the spread of his name, even today among your fellow jews. Judaism is not contrary to Jesus. it leads to Jesus. Embracing Judaism as the religion of your ancestors should not force you to give up your messiah, the only redeemer of the world, the perfect jew, with a heart of flesh for the Father who was given to mankind as a reconciliation lamb. the tenach promised us the messiah. the father sent him. judaism reaches its climax in Jesus. be a messianic jew.
Perhaps you have not yet studied/learnt the history of the early church and the influence, power and motivation of the Roman Emperor Constantine I ( and founder of Constantinople ) that resulted in the "divinification" of Jesus / Yeshua the Jewish man by a vote of church bishops attending the First Council of Nicaea (now Iznik, Turkey) in the year 325 and expressed in the Nicene Creed that they formulated. Go and learn.
This is powerful! His transition from Roman Catholicisn to American Evangelical Christianity to Judaism is quite a journey. And Judaism is his _proper_ religion! A stirring memoir. Thanks! 😊
Psalm 22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: **they pierced my hands and my feet.** 17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 18 **They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.** I pray he turns from "religious works" under the law to salvation through Messiah as we are saved by Grace through Faith, not of works.
Kvod HaRav , the picture at 6:34 isn’t in Columbia. It’s actually a picture of a small community called the Bnei Menashe who’s originally from India. Most of them made Aliyah and now resides in many parts of Israel. The picture was taken on LagB’omer in the city of NofHagalil in northern Israel.
It's interesting that 600 people stayed. 600,000 Jews were given the Torah at Mount Sinai according to our tradition. G-D bless to all of you from Israel.
This is such an amazing event that I pray spreads throughout the world!! A Torah covered world, may it be Hashem's will! I come from Spanish conversos, I praise Hashem alone and always!
