The Bible which is the WORD of God is also suppose to bring people to Holiness but however yes just like with Adam and Eve we decide to follow Satan voice instead that of Jesus who is OUR LORD and SAVIOUR and the LAMB of GOD. He offered to take upon him our sins thinking that our burden would be lighter to carry and thus helping us to get to HIM quick but no we choose to go in the other direction ( Satan's Way) and yet he still loves us unconditionally and he awaits us with open arms. He is the Son of the Living God and He is the WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE. Very soon he will make his second Coming and will offer us his mercy once again and to decide whether to follow him or Satan 🙏✝️❤
Jesus points out that being a good person isn't enough. You need Jesus the Key and faith with works, through Jesus. Otherwise the Torah is of no effect. Anyone can be a good person, but lack salvation and thus faith, through The Messiah Jesus for eternal life. We are guaranteed the 2nd death into hell and eternal the lake of fire without Jesus. Jesus is our salvation from hell and the eternal lake of fire. Once we have Jesus, then Torah is in full effect, as well as good deeds and being a good person, and faith, repenting from all sin and turning away from all sin forever, and continuing all forever Laws of God through Jesus. What people fail to notice and realize is that Torah forever Laws, Jesus Words and the Prophets, and Revelation, all has to now be followed forever. There is no picking and choosing and there is no turning back. ❤️
@@Rapenzel57nowhere Study Deut.32, all of it, and u'll see vs.21 isn't the nice picture Paul paints of "the church". Vs.27-43 ALSO speaks of that same enemy, and that Jews must get rid of their false god (rock). Believing in Jesus is to believe the snake, "Did God really say...???" Only when u study Torah diligently, seeking Truth, will u begin to see how Jesus & his disciples, twisted Torah as Isa.5:20 warns us not to do!
I had the privilege of learning from Ayelet in seminary. Truly such an inspiration and incredible teacher. Shepping, watching her on MM. so glad everyone could hear her story. :)
Wow!!! I was her student at Neve Yerushalaim in Har Nof!!! I love Ayelet🫶🏼🫶🏼💖💖💖 I’m from Argentina, I will never gonna forget her!!! She’s so beautiful
@@s.l-b8tWhat? You're not above the creator YHWH as that's blasphemous! We all should be serving the creator through Yeshua! Yeshua will be judging us come Judgement Day. Will you be saying He's serving you? You really need to repent😮!
Had the amazing opportunity to learn with her in seminary! She is such a big inspiration. I was full of questions and she was so nice and took the time to actually talk to me. Such a blessing!
Ayelet, many of us we wish we could have had a teacher like you. What a beautiful podcast. So rich & meaningful. Thank you for sharing your journey with us in the most heartfelt & witty manner!!!🙏⭐️
My parents were completely secular. My grandparents were also secular (Russian immigrants) with the exception of my father's mother who went to shul on occasion. All of my great grandparents were observant including my father's grandfather who was a Rav in Belarus. I taught myself the Aleph-Bais. My wife and I are professionals and we were invited to work in Israel by the Israeli Government. We lived in Israel 18 years. I am now orthodox and fluent in Hebrew.....the Gemara says that Judaism will never skip more than four generations. I have eight children (blee ayin hara) and all are extremely observant including one that learns in Kolel in Jerusalem. Miracles do happen.
Certainly the rescue of the Soviet Jews was a nes (miracle) in my lifetime. I remember when some American Jews argued to forget the Soviet Jews as they are spiritually lost since all the years of communism have destroyed even a spark of Judaism.
Have some empathy for your Russian secular grandparents, Russia underwent communism and a Jewish philosophy and some Jewish Russians and Jewish from Jermany made it impossible through the communism and the revolution and socialism, to practice any form of religions. Synagogues were destroyed, Christian Orthodox Churches were distroyed, people got put in the gulag for being a religious leader or if you were practicing religion… and then they burned all the books and killed all the religious people so the next generations were secular cause they were obligated to be secular and a lot of wisdom was lost with no way to gain it back
@@FoundSheep-AN There's no deep meaning. During the time of the Soviet Union, American Jews campaigned and organized on behalf of Soviet Jews. Pressure was put on the Soviet Union to let the Jews go to Israel. Letters were sent to refuseniks.
I decided to convert after Oct 7 but the journey began seven years prior when I read Tanakh for the first time straight through. I was a christian for 49 years, a noahide for two years, and then Oct 7th happened. As a christian I read only excerpts of Tanakh, verses taken out of context here and there and I never read Tanakh from start to finish. After I read Tanakh I went to Israel and then the next year I went again. I became a noahide because of Tovia Singer and on Oct 7th everything changed.
I have to add one more comment,, there is a saying that "the apple does not fall far from the tree." Your parents sound like such wonderful people. Your father deserves more than just Kaddish! He raised an army,, through you, and your children. Ayelet, your father should be paraded for his incredible fathering, even though you went against everything he raised you with. Your truth is THE truth for you, and your fathers embrace is just so heartwarming!
So grateful that you shared - my father is an extraordinary goy who supports my Torah family- he merits Kadish! I was an actress in Mexico with 0 education in Judaism, now I live in Jerusalem BH, totally related to experiencing Hashem every step of our long journey home. My name was also Andrea before I renamed myself ❤ . KOL HAYESHUOT!

Congratulations Baruch hashem I am a Mexican American that studies Torah already about 8 years but I am too old I'm 64 yrs old and have a wife that is not interested in becoming Jewish at this point I just consider myself a Ben Noah so at least I am not an idol worshiper I hope I meet hashems expectations
As a BT she is such a breath of fresh air. I love that she speaks so freely and her personality is lovely! Please continue being yourself Ayelet! You are so special 😊
BH! As a convert myself, I’m inspired by what Hashem does in our life. I relate with some parts of her story. May you continue to use your story to inspire and move our people how beautiful it is to be a Jew. A privilege and an honor. ❤I myself also speak to many bias yakov girls and host many bochrim and seminary girls for shabbos and share my story.
You lost me at "The first step is to be a good person". Why? Bc man is sinful from Eden, so being a good person is only partially possible to man bc he has a dual good & sinful nature. I get that the Torah and "Mitzvot" are good and that a man's character & soul changes if man does these things. BUT, man cannot 100% through these, purify his soul eternally. Since, for example a mere thought, in the twinkling of an eye, so to speak, can render your soul impure. Jesus is the ETERNAL atonement for those things which we could not attain on our own. So for me, anyone Christian who converts to Judaism is taking a terrible step BACKWARDS. They are rejecting the precious GIFT of sure Salvation Jesus Christ died for to assure the Salvation of all mankind. THAT is the meaning of the "Gospel" i.e., that you don't have to die for your sins; that Life Eternal is real and assured, if you will only accept Him as the SAVIOR that you, yes, EVEN YOU WILL NEED! Jesus did say in John 14:6 "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father but by me". He is not a liar. RETURN to JESUS! There is Salvation in no other...❤️✝️. PS. Christians are really Jews, but "fulfilled" and exist "in the fullness of the Faith" bc of the One & Only Perfect Atonement that can avail for perfecting our souls and granting forgiveness of all our sins. And that ONE & ONLY Atonement is JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. That is the TRUTH. 🕊️
@gw4273; Every single individual that is still within the obviously False 'religion' which adores, claims 'Jesus'' as among their false Gods, including 'new books' [every translation version], dispel, doctrine always attempts to present, their claims, which always are clearly, obviously certain Falsehood, Pretence/se, distortions, LIES, false claims, portrayals, narratives, nonsensical, misconceptions, inDOCtrination, Dogma, Propaganda. They can say they are follow the Main Edict, Tenet, Principle, "Prime Directive" stated by Paul with Timothy to his entitled people in Philippians Chapter 1, verse 18 [KJV]: "... whether in presence/se or in truth, 'chri[x]st' is proclaimed." Thus, directly, explicitly, implicitly from this verse Falsehood, Pretence/se, distortions, LIES, false claims, portrayals, narratives, etc. are equal to truth, and they both proclaim 'chri[x]st', the gospel, doctrine, inDOCtrination, Propaganda [each version]. In addition, the many version, ideas, concepts within the doctrine, gospel, dogma, inDOCtrination, Propaganda have explicitly changed, which Ayelet stated she discovered in the first semester "History" class, required for all students. Certainly among these changes are directly opposed with many statements from Paul, Peter, 12 Apostles, etc. which not only contradict with each other also John I, other added tenets. Paul stated in Philippians seen in verses 3, 8, 11, 20, 23, many of the explicit distinctions between "G-d", Almighty, Father to 'jesus'/'chri[x]st'/'j-c' who was clearly a man, not 'G-d', nor Savior [attribute of 'G-d', nor should people suffer in the name of either. But, the inDOCtrinated "Sheeple"/"Sheepeople" always remain within their extremely limited closed mindset devoid of basic human thinking, thought, facts, truth, sense, more so logic, reason, reasoning; just as every ['religious'] cult member !! :-O
If we had more Muslims like you. There would be peace in the Middle East now. The radicals in every religion seem to cause the problems. For the whole world. Peace be with you.
I grew up in Colorado and always wanted to be Jewish. I converted at 20 and a few years later, met my husband. My family rejected me because I was not saved, and my husband's family flipped out because he became an observant Jew when he met me. We worked hard, and things weren't perfect, but our kids are all yeshiva educated, and frum. I got to learn in Israel, as did my kids and my husband recently received Semicha (I.e., he is a Rabbi). Becoming Jewish is the best thing I have ever done, but sometimes when I look at the Jewish world, I often think that Judaism is lost on the Jews. Why people give up diamonds for dirt is beyond me.
i think we all have our own journeys and nissionot an FFB person had his own way to Hashem - its not an easy rode for anyone even if a Jew sees the diamonds there is a yeter Hara. some people grow up non-religious or with parents that werent stable- or with a Jewish neshama that takes a journey.
You cant become a jew you fool 😂😂😂 Plus its the same God as Christian God and old testament proves Jews always going against God but ofcourse let's ignore that 👍🏻
I feel you Ayelet! Although, it took me much longer to arrive as a MOT. I also questioned the Bible and received similar answers. I am not sure even today that my family of origin still understands my conversion. Thank you for sharing your story and being so open.
yes I can imagine you cried, because she either lies or the title does, and if she was a devout Follower of the Messiah which i doubt, she has denied The Saviour...
@@GCM4u stop worshipping a false G-od, an idol. You’re jealous of her as you still pray to a dead man on a cross. Surrender yourself to the G-od of Israel!!!!
I loved this lady. I am not a Jew. I don't see becoming Jewish or even Noahide in my future. But I loved hearing about her story. In many ways there are parallels with my own. She is a great story teller and her biting wit is hilarious. You're a great interviewer as well. It was a great conversation to listen to. God brought me to hear this conversation because there were some important lessons in it that I needed to learn. Thank you.
Although not Jewish her father is a tzaddik to help her financially without judgement towards her new found religion. But she has an amazing spirit and prob was the best daughter.
@@user-lv4ov5rp6d what the heck is a demiurge? But more importantly, what is it with non Jews hopping all over an obviously Jewish channel/page to criticize believers and adherents? I don't get it. How do you not see just how rude and arrogant that is? Do you think you're actually going to change someone's belief system based on your RU-vid comment? Otoh, I've never seen a collection of Jews pile onto a Christian or Muslim page to criticize the faiths. Never.
@@jalemairliha You are partly right. If she hadn't named our God Christ, I wouldn't have commented. However, since she did, I feel the need to enlighten people. She has, in fact, forsaken the Son of God and now worships another so called "deity" that is the opposite of everything Christ stands for. I have already fulfilled my duty.
OMG so much hate comments, but it doesn't really matter cause this woman found her place and I'm really happy for her 😊 I respect her so much! אין עוד מלבדו
I’m also an orthodox convert. I was raised Catholic and became a Bible believing evangelical Christian. Christianity was my life. I taught classes and majored in religion. I wanted to go to seminary, but decided that Gd wanted me to have children instead. I had a faith crisis, and eventually came to a similar question around the Trinity. Long process… but 21 years ago I converted orthodox and am with Chabad. Today, my life goal is to end “the women’s issue” with which I struggled.
Thanks for asking... you are probably thinking of the correct things... I mean the things in ortho life that so many women experience as discriminatory or degrading or being left out. "The women's issue" sends a lot of Jewish women who want to be and should be orthodox away from orthodoxy, because it's just too much to take. I know because I went through it. . @@DevorahC

Ayelet is such an inspiration and so beautiful keh. She has such a beautiful story to share with so much positivity. May Hashem shower his continuous brachos upon her and her family. Excellent podcast. Thank you Nachi.
Thank you so much for this amazing Podcast episode, I am totally impressed by this wonderful lady, I really appreciate everything she is sharing with us. Lots of Love and blessings.💙🙏❤️
I took a slightly different route. Instead of majoring in Judaic Studies, which required a Thesis, I Majored in Religion. When I was required to learn about Eastern Religions, I visited a Hindu Ashram. B”H, my mom was nervous it was a cult, & told me that there is mysticism in Judaism too; the following week, my mom introduced me To Chabad Rabbi S. Lipskar at The SHUL of Bal Harbour. (1985 🙏🏻)
I super admire Ayelet!!! She came to my area and spoke with my daughters grade with the mothers I think a year or two ago. Thank you Ayelet! Keep giving light and chizuk to all of us!
So funny, inspiring and gripping story. When I was listening to it, I was between tears and uncontrollable laughter. Really special thank you sooo much!!!!
Wow what an amazing story. Ayelet has in her the stories of Abraham Abinu, who found Hashem, Yitro, that knew all the religions and ultimately chose Judaism and Rabbi Akiba that didn’t know Alef Bet until later in life. Really very inspiring story.
I loved and enjoyed this interview so much. I had seen her talking about her story in Spanish. And now that I see her again on this podcast, I enjoyed it so much again! HaShem Bless you Ayelet! I can only imagine it would be such a treat to speak with you and Shabbat dinner.
I pray that Jews and Christians form an alliance. We are your biggest Allies! I love the Jewish people and I stand with you 🙏 I pray the Jewish people see the support and love we are trying to show ❤️❤️
@galsg.9329; @printinkbooks; @NaProbablyNot; The suggestion of @user-Jenn82; is just another among "chrixsitan" inDOCtrination to fulfill their false "Revelations" as explicitly within the "Assembly of God Churches" video of the general project to peruse, convert "Jews" to "bring 'jesus' back" !! :-O This is another of their paths, ways, means, direction, dictation, within their arrogance, haughtiness, ego to control Jews/Yidden/Benay Yisroail just as Aysav-Esau, the brother, to eliminate their actual intents, purpose, meaning, requirements, responsibilities, obligations, duties, thus even merits in This Physical World, which Aysav is completely focused upon. This includes their false "purgatory"/Hell/"eternal damnation" false portrayals, narratives, claims, threats with only one way to save passage !! :-O If, any Benay Noach decide to assist, help, support, etc. any of Benay Yisroail, as the father Neely of Ayelet does, this is very good, appreciated, beneficial, useful, helpful, thus will benefit them, as for him too. All The Best, Sincerely :-)
Ayelet, u are a beautiful woman inside and outside. U are so blessed to have such clarity in ur life. Im so happy u have a good relationship with ur dad. He does sound like an amazing guy. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree. Thanks for sharing ur story with all of us. Wishing u and ur family all the best!
you're not so old .. in early 90's my mother confessed we are halachachly jewish, I bought my little girls a Hebrew primer, I taught myself enough Hebrew from the primer so I could say basic prayers; and - BH" - I grew from there ... observant still after all these years with ha Karas haTov to H"' .. Hebrew is phonetic, so it's easy to learn; it's a beautiful & worthwhile journey for life BH"
This is one of the things within orthodox communities I can't come to terms with - that heirarchy of one's origins, the "yichus". Why not relate to people for what and where they are now, and not judge them for where they came from, and who their parents are? It is so rooted in the mentality, like in most small communities, but it was relevant to the diaspora, at the shtetl, and shouldn't be here, in Israel. If at all, in my eyes, someone who has made such a difficult jurney to find the truth in judaism, and becoming jewish out of true conviction, and against so many obstacles, should be held on the highest pedestal. "מקום שבעלי תשובה עומדין צדיקים גמורים אינם עומדין"
What a wonderful woman and a great story! In one of the synagogues I attended more than 10 years ago, I met a young woman with a somewhat similar story to Ayelet. She was born in Venezuela, came to the US to study religions, and fell in love with Judaism. While she was in the process of conversion, she met a lovely, handsome Jewish guy (she was also a pretty woman), and they got married soon after her conversion.
My story- took Intro. To Religions In Freshman year at Univ. of Michigan. Missed 1st week/ Bereishis- bought my Bible & started reading/ learning Noach, & was “Fascinated.” Loved learning Tanach in classes & finally started my BT journey 2-1/2 years later. (Thanks to Rabbi Lipskar at Shul of Bal Harbour, 1985)
After all she went through to come back to HaKadosh Baruch Hu it's well deserved to have such an amazing husband. Her perseverance and honest heart led to a great reward. Baruch HaShem.
such a sweet lady… made me feel a little bit jealous: without bitterness, in a good way. I was always looking up to such people and always felt that I’ll never be able to reach their level of joyful normalcy, of this… wholesomeness… thank you for this encounter :)
It can be your future. We are all from a golem that Hashem breathed Life into, right? I hope you see your worth the way I know it to be. It's there in the Torah.
I appreciate how you handled a couple of times where you could have been "snarky" on Christianity, but you were gracious. Example: when she was mentioning that she said yes sir to her dad, (which is not necessarily a religious thing but in the context of the video could be taken that way), your general comment was that saying yes sir and being respectful to one's parents was a good thing. And there was another incident but I'm sorry I don't remember what that one was. But your attitude was greatly appreciated. I very much enjoy your videos. Hope my Momo feels better.
Amazing woman. Her pure soul spills out. I'm a non-observant Israeli Jew (and a man). Hey, I was born in the same hospital your kids were. 😀😀😀And yes, you did make a Jew laugh. 🤣 In the best way possible.
Her story is so similar to mines except I was born Jewish raised christian but college really caused me to seek Hashem outside of christianity. Also went on a omnist adventure too 😅😅😅 until going to Judaism and feeling at home
With what is going on right now, this was a great antidote. It's rare that I see someone on RU-vid that I really want to meet in real life...but this woman is so warm and so deep....I am in awe of her. Cone to think of it, she's a lot more Jewish than I am...and I once worked for the UJA.
John 1:1,14-In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.
Amazing !!! Her shows must be hilarious. Hi Grandpa Bruce!!! Enjoy your precious family and many years of happiness to y'all :) May your mother rest in peace. They brought up a fantastic human being! Regards from London
As a tour guide in Israel, we have to study the New Testament, and in the Gospel of John, there are two instances where Jesus actually claims to be God. In John 8:58 he says "Very truly I tell you, before Abraham was born, I am!” using the name by which God refers to himself when appearing to Moses as a burning bush. In John 10:30, Jesus is in Jerusalem at the temple and being questioned as to whether he is the messiah and he answers "I and the Father are one," after which the people begin stoning him for blasphemy.
Right!!! Why do we not call HIM by HIS true name - why by a translated name as HE would be a Greece, a Roman, an American etc etc.??? This translation does not give the deep meaning of HIS name at all!!!
i beg to differ. 'Jesus' is not ever found in the new testament. 'Jesus' was invented in the late 1500's and it was popularized in the early 1600's. the Messiah's name is definitely not Jesus. and He is not the christian 'jesus'. the christian 'jesus' and christianity teaches us to disobey the Bible, both the 'new testament' and 'old testament'.
Ayelet Hashachar. May you be part of the light before the dawn of Moshiach. One of the most special netzotzot hakedusha (holy sparks) gathered in this golus
Wow! What a power house of a woman this is!!! Your a role model to us all, thank you for sharing your journey with us, I'm just incredibly inspired by you! Your a rarity in this generation, most people are not truth seekers like yourself, I'm just so inspired!!!
@GCM4u; You clearly have the most common SRPS which is far worse than TDS !! :-O TDS = Trump Derangement Syndrome -> please see cure presented by Nicole Shanahan, as "Independence" SRPS = Self-Reflection -> Projection Syndrome -> cure by basic human self-projection into a mirror with introspection, thought, thinking, positive attitude, desire to improve, grown, change, logic, reason, reasoning. You seem to also be within and suffer from CDS = "Christian" Derangement Syndrome -> cure is similar with SRPS, within human thought, etc. combined with Independence. Good Luck within Your Syndromes and more so cure paths.
I am Greek and Christian Orthodox. I like this channel very much. Particularly this interview was my favourite one!!! A couple of months ago I heard a famous Rabbin telling that God has a plan allowing so many different religions existing. I believe it as well. Since then i am following many different religious channels. Since i was 15 I am struggling with the same question. Every religion claim's to know the truth and the real God or real Gods word. Every religion claims that only by believing and following the rules of each of them an individual could be saved. I am seeing, hearing and learning so many good people, blessed people, intelligent people, kind People from so different backgrounds and religious believes, that I am wondering. What kind of God would not save or accept them in heaven? Is it possible that God needs to make micromanagement? Is it possible that god is thinking and acting like humans? Personally i believe in God and I believe in Jesus but I am open as well to everybody who spreads light, truth and kindness. But according to the religious perspective I should choose the only and ONE truth to be saved. So I am a sinner or not believer though my heart is becoming so worm hearing for example this wonderful woman speaking in the same way i feel inspired by the word of a lightening Christian figure. Greetings from Greece and bless you all and thank you for sharing and letting me share!!!
When I was an acolite, at age 15, I memorized the Hebrew alphabet. At age 16, I discovered that Christians do not live according to the Bible. From that, I realized that Jesus was false and the Rabbis were right. At age 18, I went to Israel alone and converted to Judaism. That was in 1976. It was very lonely, but I would do it a thousand times over.😃
Imagine your surprise when you realize that it's not about how people live but about the word of God. Imagine your surprise when you realize that the Torah leaves a lot of openings which are completed and fulfilled by the messiah. E.g. from not committing adultery to understanding that adultery includes even lust. Imagine your surprise when you realize the jews have no messiah and no atonement for sins. Imagine your surprise when the christians you consider weren't actually christians but those taking the name of the Lord in vain. Imagine your surprise when you're introduced to the judge of all the earth and see Jesus. I hope you are really seeking God because it will inevitably lead you back to Jesus.
