Why Convert to Judaism?
Why take on 613 commandments when a righteous Gentile only needs to keep seven? In this video, we address the fundamental question: Why convert to Judaism instead of staying a righteous Noahide? Rabbi Yaron Reuven gives many reasons why a gentile would want to convert to Judaism. A few include a structured life, more ways to get close to HaShem, a sense of community, a better chance your children stay righteous, and being one of the Chosen People are just a few! On top of this is the additional mercy HaShem shows the Jewish people, and the highest level of TeShuva for a Jew where even sins can turn into mitzvot vs the higher measure of punishment for a non-Jew. And the spiritual reward is worlds apart for a Jew compared to a Noahide. So what many people think is a better deal with less work for a Noahide isn't really the case.
