Changing our names after converting to Judaism
Рет қаралды 8,024
Күн бұрынChanging our names after converting to Judaism was something that we were beyond excited about. Your name holds the essence of who you truly are. We stepped into our destinies when we went from Danielle & LaDerryl to Chava & Akiva.

Shalom aleichem. I'm a thirteen year old girl and my family is converting to Orthodox Judaism. You guys have been such a light in my journey. You give me such peace. I was resistant to this path at first, but I have warmed to it, and I owe much of that to you. I love Judaism now. I love Hashem. I am so excited to be able to say, "Ani yehudi". So I want to thank you for showing me how beautiful this path is and I can't imagine my life any other way now. I wish your family all the best and all the blessings.

What an incredibly mature and thoughtful comment for anyone, let alone a thirteen year old. So happy you found clarity and peace in your path, and chose to make it your own. I know you mentioned that your family likes to remain private, which I totally respect. But you guys ever do decide to start a channel, I’d love to subscribe. Regardless, wishing you and your family hatzlacha on your journey! I give you a bracha that you should officially join our nation sooner than you think, and partake in the coming of Mashiach, immediately.

I'm amazed at how your children adapted to changing their names and makong aliyah. You chose beautiful and meaningful names. I was born in Israel, but my parents called me Sherry from day one, but my birth certificate (and now driver's license, American passport, etc.) have my legal name, Sharonah. I've always hated both. I've had a lot of minor to moderate health issues and I've had 15 surgeries. I was told that if you are in a horrible state of health (like, close to death), you can change your Hebrew name to try to fool the Angel of Death. If I have to undergo more surgery, that's what I'm going to do! As for moving to another country, I was four years old. I lost my mother tongue, my identity, and my self-confidence.

@@houseoflev well you’re right Paul did right that, and you’re partially right he became an enemy of the Jews because he left that religion when he met the risen Christ, Paul was met by Jesus Christ himself the savior who he denied. Paul preached Christ resurrected and not law. Paul’s teachings align with Torah and prophets because the same God who gave it , revealed himself to Paul. The law is the shadow of what’s to come that ALREADY came but still some remains. Don’t take my word for anything. Read Isaiah 53 and 54 and understand what is being said. I’ll share a few things. Isaiah 53:4-5 KJV ”Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.“ Who suffered for sins ? I know your automatic response will be “the nation of Israel is the suffering servant” but how? Whose stripes are we healed by? If not Jesus Christ ? The Gentiles like me and you are Gods sons and daughters NOT by converting to Judaism, but believing in Jesus Christ. Isaiah 54:1 ”Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.“

There’s only two ways to being a Jew and that’s through bloodline being born from one of the 12 tribes of Israel and blessed seed of Abraham and through spirit by accepting Jesus as your personal savior. Following only the Torah, not only makes you a Jew, but it also separates you from God. All those men and women with a white complexion, who call themselves Jews are not Jews blessed from the seed of Abraham, especially being called Ashkenaski Jews. Ashkenas was born from the lineage of Japheth. Abraham was born from the tribe of Shem, Noah’s son.
