I am a born orthodox woman from a chasidish community I appreciate you guys! You are so sweet! I wish you a lot of mazel and all the blessings be'h

We’re honored to have you amongst the Jewish people. It’s the Jews that are blessed to have beautiful people like you two joining us. ❤

I was a JW Christian. I left over 20 yrs. and now im in the process convertion to Orthodox judaísm. I wont be surprised that the Mashiah is already working behind the scenes to bring us back. so happy to find your video. more people are coming back to pure teachings of Torah.

I had to stop the video about 10 minutes in and say y'alls story is almost the exact same as mine and my husband's! I'm over here just shaking my head in agreement to everything that y'all have said. I will finish listening but it's so good to hear that others also in the same mindset that we were in once we started truly searching, and our searching also led to Judaism!

It is always amazing to me to meet righteous converts. Asking questions is at the heart of Judaism and the process led you to a Torah lifestyle. Kol hakavod! What you have done takes great courage!

I know it sounds odd to say you love someone that you only know through videos. But every time I see you I feel so much love for you - and coming from you. Lev is a perfect name for your channel. Thank you so much for this video as it clarified some things that I had not previously understood. I always look forward to another video I’ve even watched some of them over again.

You guys were exactly what KZfaq was missing… Thanks again for sharing your amazing story. We really appreciate you. You guys are a super power couple, very precious.

I'm an African American Jew ... I left when I was technically 26... however, I started the process when I was 17... To be honest, it's never easy to explain.. it's just something thats literally in you.. like you never wake up saying you want to convert. I felt like I had a Jewish Neshama my entire life.. I remember after I converted the first thing I did was quit my job and live in Israel for a bit. I went to a yeshiva in Jerusalem , and it was the greatest exposure to Torah. Learn the language, Learned Halacha, learned Gemera, and I even dated. Aliyah it still u p in the air..

You are really incredible! As a Jewish ortodox woman, I love watching your inspirational videos

As an orthodox born Jew, you honestly make me so proud to be a Jew. I can’t get enough of your videos 🎉

Exactly Family - you're sharing YOUR JOURNEY and YOUR STORY! I'm proud of you both! Auntie loves ya!

I left Christianity around 28 years ago. I learned how Pagan it was then learned that the early church purposely changed G-ds word to sound christological . I felt so betrayed and was happy to leave and embrace Judaism and convert. Being a Noahide was not an option. I knew I had to convert. I felt like I was Jewish and just needed to finalize it with conversion.

Actually I think your approach is a whole lot better than many. I have seen those on both sides behave very badly and it's shameful! Shalom

My mother converted from Catholic to following the Messianic Jewish teaching since I was a baby. I went on my own journey at age 19. I fellowshipped, worshipped n became a member as a pentecostal, baptist, seventh day adventist, methodist, non denomination Christian... I am now 44 and have done a complete 360 in my search for truth. I took a sabbatical from my Christian place of worship and still find myself drawn to the laws, precepts and the Holy reverence in the old testament. I pray YHWH allows me to find the fellowship between brothers and sisters that hunger for GOD n GOD alone! I still follow the Leviticus law in regards to food. Could never bring myself to eat unclean. Blessings ❤️🙏🏼

Shalom bro. Converted to Judaism 6 mos ago. Been a Christian all my life but Rabbi Singer opens my mind about Judaism. Happy to be serving Hashem

Shalom, G-d bless you both and thank you very much for sharing.

Howdy Hart's! 😇Thanks for the history lesson delivered with style! We enjoy your shares and appreciate your transparency. Wishing your family tremendous success and a Joyous Chanuka! You are making a major Kiddush Hashem!

You both have such light shining from you. G-d bless you and keep you!

I love you guys!! So refreshing seeing an African American JEWISH couple NOT associated with Hebrew Israelites! May you be blessed on your journey! B’H!!

I was raised Christian ..But I have been wanting to Convert for many years, I've always worried I won't be excepted. I completely agree with you. May G-d Bless You..Thank You for this!!!

I love and truly respected the Jewish people. Without their writings we wouldn't have the bible. A few years ago I started using the Complete Jewish bible because I started to feel a pull towards the Jews. I do not celebrate Christmas but I do celebrate Passover. I have thought about conversion but not yet taken any steps. Thank you both for sharing your stories with us, very much appreciated. Blessing from England...xx

The Kla Yisrael is surely happy and honoured to have you amongst us!! During my journey, that started as a child, I constantly battle with many of those questions mentioned here and I used to say I was the “terror” of the priests (I was raised catholic and I used to teach confirmation classes). One of the priest I knew as a teenager, let me attend mass only on Saturdays because I refused myself to go on Sundays. Throughout my life, questions started to pilled up.. more things make less and less sense until came one that I didnt feel any christian anymore and that was the day when I started my search for the truth that brought me to be, proudly, part of Kla Yisrael. My goal is to serve God they way he clearly told us to do.. wWhen I was 6 years old , I had a dream with God asking me to pray in Hebrew and that is where my soul journey started. At the time, I was living in Brazil without any jewish life miles away and my mother was shocked that I even knew what hebrew was. Anyways… thank you for oppening up and sharing your beautiful story with us, B’ezrat Hashem, you will inspire more and more sould that are strugguling with the same questions and searching to connect with Hashem and find the true! Chag Hannukah Sameach!

ואווו הכרתי את הערוץ שלכם ממש עכשיו, וזה מעניין מאוד. חייבת לציין שאתם נראים משפחה נפלאה, אני יהודיה שחזרה בתשובה, ההורים שלי עלו לארץ ישראל מאתיופיה, ואני כבר מספר שנים בתהליך של התחזקות ברוך השם. שמחה בתהליך שלכם, אמן ותצליחו להגיע לאמת היחידה, ושהשם תמיד יהיה בעזרכם, שנזכה לגאולה השלמה ברחמים במהרה!!

As someone who is on a similar journey, I am grateful to have found your channel. I'm really enjoying learning about your journey. Thank you for sharing it!

Hello! Thank you for sharing your story with compassion, love and non judgment 😊I so appreciate hearing other's journeys to Judaim, in particular, other JOCs:) I too decided over a decade and half ago, to start questioning my Christian upbringing, and started on my exploring journey which included Buddism. However, Judaism kept pulling me back like a magnet! Lol. After a decade, feeling like what I describe" God kicking me in the butt", I decided to walk into our only reform congregation here in Ottawa, Canada and finally felt I was exactly where I needed to he. Spent a year going through my conversion and finally, the mikveh. I felt I had arrived home💓 Much love and peace to you both during this Chanukah season😊

I was raised in a Messianic form of JudeoChristianity and the Judaism part resonated and made more sense to me than the Christian aspect of it. Now that I am in my 20s I find myself traveling my own path after my family left that. I am starting to believe Orthodox Judaism is that path.

What was your journey like finding a community and having these discussions with orthodox rabbis?

I like to give you guys something to look forward to. I converted 40 years ago to orthodox Judaism it was very difficult in those days, it took 5 years of hard work. But 40 years later I have a wonderful family of 8 children and 13 grandchildren all Jewish frum hasdic Jews in Jerusalem Israel. So may g-d bless you and your family and look forward to a lovely life

As an African American and person who used to be a Christian this was refreshing to hear! I left Christianity for some of the same reasons and have spent the last 13 or more years studying with my Rabbi. I have not “converted “ to Orthodox Judaism because I understand that it is not needed. I am a follower of HaShem, the God of Israel and I love the Jewish people. I am a follower of Truth and they are the caregivers of Truth and are in this world to teach us. Again this was refreshing to hear. I pray others would start asking the questions that will lead them to follow after truth.

I'm from Dominican republic, may God bless you guys, I too would like to turn to judaism, I was a protestant cristian and like you guys I learned from the hebrew scripture what the new testament is all about

Your journey is so like ours. Years of questions and studying that culminated in conversion to conservative Judaism in summer of 2020. Blessings to you both.

What a small world… not sure if you remember me but last summer while I was living in California you happened to be my Uber driver… we both happened to be from Detroit and you were telling me about what inspired you to convert and your dance app! Fast forward to this morning and this video was on my suggested page. Cannot believe this happenstance of events lol

Very inspiring and very excellent video. Two people who basically discovered their own truth on their own. Thank you for allowing us to tag along. And like Rebecca Segal below stated, we are honored to have you amongst our people. Your coming home to us is a gift from shamayim.

Hi guys born and raised frum. Just found your channel. You guys are so cool and awesome. I always grew up with this quote “ don’t judge Judaism by the Jews , rather judge Judaism by the Torah” I’m so glad you found the light. We and now you are part of the or’ lagoyim. Light to the nations. Your holy glow should continue to be a beacon for others and may Hashem bless you both and keep you Close and continue to use you Guys for his holy Purpose. Welcome To the family. Love Love Love.

Happy Chanukah 🕎 from the state of Maryland. Delighted to have you both as new members of the “Tribe.” ☺️

I am a born Jewish religious woman and I learn so much from u And so proud if u Thank u so much

We, too, discovered many of the things you have found regarding errors in Christianity, such as x-mas/Easter pagan holidays & Sunday worship that came from Roman Catholicism (RCC). We left mainstream Christianity many years ago and got back to our Hebrew Roots. Early on in church history, they began to teach that Paul the Apostle taught against the Law of God, but this is another error within Christianity that continues to be taught. “Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! May it never be, on the contrary, we uphold the law.” (Romans 3:31) “What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Absolutely not! Certainly, I would not have known sin except through the Law. For indeed I would not have known what it means to desire something belonging to someone else if the Law had not said, "Do not covet"” (Romans 7:7). “So then, the Law is set-apart, and the commandment is set-apart, righteous, and good” (Romans 7:12). “For we know that the Law is spiritual--but I am unspiritual, sold into slavery to sin” (Romans 7:14). “For I delight in the Law of Elohim in my inner being” (Romans 7:22). Neither Paul, Stephen nor any of the Apostles ever taught against the Law of God/Moses, they upheld the Law in every way just as Yeshua did. If you read closely, it specifically states that they were “falsely accused of teaching against the Law of Moses”. If the accusation was false, they had to be teaching the Law as in tact. Acts 21:18-26 & Acts 6:8-15. All through Acts you see them observing Sabbath, taking vows, etc. It was the corrupt RCC that purported the Law was done away with and started a new religion apart from Torah/Tanakh….they were VERY anti-Semitic so they distanced themselves from anything “Jewish”, but in the process, distanced themselves from all Truth. There is a ministry in Israel called One For Israel who properly explains these things, plus they have exposed Orthodox/Rabbinical Judaism for the many commandments that have been added to and taken away from Torah/Tanakh---known as “Oral Laws” (Talmud/Mishnah)---these were the man-made traditions and commands of the Pharisees (Orthodox) that Yeshua called them out on numerous times (but Christians think these were God’s Laws when they were not). Matthew 23:4,15, 25-26, 32. www.oneforisrael.org/bible-based-teaching-from-israel/did-god-also-give-moses-an-oral-law/ “You who boast in the (oral) law dishonor Elohim by transgressing the (written) Law!” (Romans 2:23). You are right to abandon the errors within Christendom, the added commands and traditions of men, but you will eventually come to realize that the Rabbis in Orthodox Judaism ALSO have numerous man-made traditions and commands that go against Torah (Mishnah & Talmud & Kabbalah/Gematria). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qsqUdrGKm7ubZ40.html May you be blessed by Yah.

👏👏👏 bravo May God bless you both! Be well and all the best!!

I am a Jewish Israeli woman. it's amazing that you wanted to become Jewish. All religions call for "come to us, be with us" and the Jews "Why do you want to come to us? Why do you want to be with us?..

Thank you so much for this video and your other videos. I wish people would stop posting videos trying to argue with you or suggest books that you should read that go against everything that you believe. You haven’t asked your viewers for advice or guidance. I guess you knew already that you would get these kinds of comments and you chose to post this video despite the negativity and opposing comments. As you said on a previous video talking about your response to hate that you choose to focus on the love and the positive comments of which there are many. Thanks again for inspiring me, an Orthodox Jewish woman in Lakewood, NJ. Happy Chanukah!

Me and my wife left Christianity and completed an conservative conversion and finally an Orthodox conversion. We all have similar stories to leave Christianity and convert to Orthodox. I am enjoy listening to ya path to Orthodox Judaism. Ya have greater rabbis and have an good understanding of the subject by ya ability to explain the subject. Keep up the good work but remember your ability to explain it show you have a good understanding of the subject.

I left Christianity when I found out Christmas was Nimrods birthday! As a matter of fact today is my third anniversary of that conversion!!! Just realized that this morning! What a journey!!!!!

Love and Respect you guys :-) Be encouraged!

Thank you very much for sharing your story. Both of my parents are Jewish and I grew up secular for a time, then my great grandmother went fully back to the Sephardic Synagogue and began teaching us Torah. When my mother became religious as an adult she went back to Torah. Unfortunately Y. was added. Not as a demigod, or virgin birth or God, but still as the Mashiach. I never understood this at all , even as a child. We never really learned about him except that he said keep the Torah and he would return. We only studied Torah/Tanakh. As an adult I prayed and realized that I needed to know what I actually knew and why I did the things that I did. This led me right back to Torah, Orthodox Judaism. I felt a freedom and closeness to Hashem that I had never experienced before. Within our family we have secular, Orthodox, and Modern Orthodox . We also have Muslim, Christians, atheist and Lapid. When I shifted no one wanted to really hear why, or what I was doing. Fear for many reasons prevented conversations. Which is okay with me because like you guys say it is my journey. All of my children (10) are adults and half of them are married. I am thrilled that they are all on their own journeys and are leaning back into Judaism. I am older than you guys and I am thrilled to say that you have encouraged and inspired me to stand up a bit taller on this journey. Lo siento for the long comment. Please continue to share. You are doing so much good. Shalom

Very Eloquent and respectful. May Hashem bless every step of your Journey :)

I truly love how u say that bacon on pittzah was your favourite. Our elders tell us we should not say non kosher food is not tasty. We should say it looks really good and I would love to taste it, but god forbids it, and we listen to the word of good. Wow u guys r amazing

I also converted. I was raised in Christianity thinking and believing I could worship G-D (ABBA) and a man at the same time, but ABBA changed me

I was drawn to your videos after I watched your interview with Rabbi Singer. Congratulations on your recent conversion.

First! Excited to listen.

I have grace to you and your family for this transition. My question is why orthodox Judaism? Why not Messianic Judaism? Personally, I am 40 years in Messiah. In my faith walk, I've been pursuing YESHUA practically through the Scriptures. The original language and intent of the Bible is fundamental truth. My wife and I are simply accepting YESHUA'S invitation when He said: "Come Follow Me." It's been over a year since we've been worshipping on Shabbat at a Messianic Jewish Synagogue. We are learning new Scriptural truth, unlearning lies and traditions of Man, and relearning the Hebraic roots of our faith in YESHUA MESSIAH. My wife is an ordained minister. We've made it a point not to go too far right or left in our faith journey. Rather we are to stay centered on YESHUA just as He is the center menorah candlestick. The inconvenient truth in the Body of Christ is that JESUS is JEWISH! Chriatians owe a massive debt of love, respect, and honor to our Elder Brother Israel. This is the second straight year that we're celebrating Hannukah at Synagogue. We're so excited! And we have our first Hannukah menorahs for our home. Since its been a little over a year, weve celebrated the Moedims. So good! Simply, we are Believers and Followers of YESHUA. That is who a Disciple in Christ is. We aren't "converting" to Judaism. It's not necessary. My wife and I already have a relationship with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by grace through faith in Christ. He is kadosh! Absolutely no sin can ever come into His Presence. The perfect obedience of YESHUA to ABBA FATHER'S will in His life, ministry, death, suffering, separation, burial, Resurrection, and ascension is key to our redemption. The very Name of YESHUA means God’s Salvation. We do not participate in Easter or Christmas. Paganism has infiltrated the Body of Christ and it is a cancer. Unfortunately, far too many in the "Church" run it like a business or organization instead of an organism. I understand your disillusionment from pastors, preachers, ministers who do not rightly divide the word of God. The duplicitous lifestyle of many preachers both well known and obscure. It is sickening. We do not consume pork or any shellfish. I think I understand your argument relative to Messiah ben Joseph and Messiah ben David. Both Joseph and Mary are from the Tribe of JUDAH. Joseph was whom HaShem chose along with Mary (young woman/maiden). Check out John Kostik's KZfaq video teaching on the subject. Roman Emperor Constantine changed worship from the seventh day that Almighty God sanctified and blessed Saturday (Shabbat) to the first day, SUNday. We use the JPS and DHE Gospels as English Scripture reading after the Torah portion is read. The two of you have some solid questions which is great. I encourage you to check out the KZfaq channels of John Kostik, Pastor Mark Biltz, and 119 Ministries. These are just a few suggestions of excellent Bible teachers that has blessed and edified my wife and I. ABBA FATHER doesn't hide good things from His children. He hides good things for His kids. It is the glory of God to conceal a thing; but the glory of kings is to search out a matter. Proverbs 25:2 JPS Tanakh 1917 This is the beauty of discovering and exploring the depths of Hebrew and Aramaic. I encourage you to go deeper into the WORD of GOD made in human flesh: YESHUA. Blessings! Shalom. 🙌🏼✡👑🦁📜🔥🕊

I'm a Christian. I'm not here to evalengise you. However, I have to comment that Paul does not contradict Y'shua. The Bible has to be used to translate the Bible and (needless to say to some of you reading) the Ruah HaKodesh does all the heavy lifting when it comes to interpetation. Here is a verse from Peter's second Epistle concerning Paul: "So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with Him (YHVH). Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction." - II Peter 3:14-16 NIV Truly, the people here in our modern times are no different than the people that were here long ago. Peter was warning the Church that there were people misinterpreting Paul to make it seem like he was anti-Jewish. As a result of Paul's deeply Spiritual Biblical exegesis, followers fell by the wayside as they were led astray by false doctrine. Fortunately for us Christians learning today, there are plenty of places in the New Testament where you can see that the idea of Paul being a sort of "Anti-Christ" is misguided. If you need more refrences, let me know, but I'll just end it here. I wish you all well. Have a great Chanuka. Shalom Aleichem! : )

I am not a Christian, but I find it ironic that you rejected Christianity based on the New Testament's misappropriation of Tanakhic verses when the Talmudic rabbis do the same thing. For example, in the Babylonian Talmud (Bava Metzia 59b), the rabbis only partially quote Exodus 23:2, "follow the majority," to prove that one sides with the majority. Yet when you read the entire verse, "You must not follow the majority," it proves the opposite of what the rabbis say. *How do you reconcile your faith with this example?* You also expressed how Christianity seemed to be the teachings of Paul as opposed to the teachings of Jesus. Could the same not be applied to Judaism, following the instructions of rabbis who came 1500+ years after Moses as opposed to the teachings of Moses?

You two are so amazing! Hearing the process you went through is simply inspiring. Just like Ruth the Moabite, who followed Naomi - "...כִּ֠י אֶל־אֲשֶׁ֨ר תֵּלְכִ֜י אֵלֵ֗ךְ וּבַאֲשֶׁ֤ר תָּלִ֨ינִי֙ אָלִ֔ין עַמֵּ֣ךְ עַמִּ֔י וֵאלֹהַ֖יִךְ אֱלֹהָֽי׃" (Ruth 1:16) and was blessed that her offspring would be King David and, of course, after him, the Messiah. This is how I wish you, as you left everything and followed the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, so will your children and offspring be blessed, s Ruth was blessed. ❤

There's no longer a temple where sacrifices are offered for our sins because that's where Jesus died for. No temple and no Jesus means that you aren't right with God when you leave this live. It means eternity in Sheol😢

In summary, you are essentially saying you don’t believe Jesus is Lord. The new covenant did not go into effect until His resurrection and there would be no celebration of that before the event actually took place (referring to your comment about Easter).

The canonization of the Bible as we have it today has definitely had an interesting journey. What's in the Bible depends on what community you're in: Ethiopian Coptics, Roman Catholics, the Orthodox Church, and Protestants all have different numbers of books that are an aren't included. The order of the Old Testament was definitely rearranged for a non-Jewish audience in order to explain how, by ending with Malachi, there was a "silence" of 400 years that was fulfilled by Jesus. My issue comes from modern Christianity's assumption of that because God was and still is speaking to us through the Jewish community. Also, what I found helpful about the incongruity of the New Testament, is that they were primarily a collection of letters between communities. Paul's letters were in dialogue with and in response to those communities. Which is why he and James (who was much more Torah observant) had disagreeances between one another theologically. For Paul, he didn't want to not have Gentiles be welcomed into the community because they had to follow strict Torah observance, while other church leaders thought that by doing so Gentiles would be better connected with this burgeoning Jewish-Christian community. I think we are DEFINITELY missing our Jewish nature within Christianity, and is something that I've been really diving into these past few months. I'm a seminary student and feel like there's something seriously lacking within the church today. I feel like we need to reconnect with our Jewish roots in a relational way. I'm saddened by how the schism grew to the point of Christianity breaking away from Judaism due to political power - particularly through Constantine and Theodosius. I also hope this doesn't come across rudely! I am so, so happy that you have found a faith community that connects for you and your family. I'm actually in deep theological reflection about potentially converting to Judaism because of my own research into Judaism and frustration with the current Church.

Just love the story of your journey. Love this❣️

I’m a messianic Jew. I believe that Yeshua is the promised messiah. I’m sorry for your experience. What ever church you were going to was definitely a false church preaching broken theology. I go to a messianic synagogue. We celebrate Gods appointed days. We read Torah and have Torah study. Paul didn’t do away with the law. He was very zealous for the law and followed it, but he didn’t force non-Jewish believers to become Jewish. He encouraged them to stay gentile. The whole book is a Jewish book. Written by Jewish authors. The New Testament parallels with the Hebrew Bible. Messianic versions of the Bible that I like are the complete Jewish Bible and the tree of life bible. In your journey I hope that you find relationship with Adoni.

What a powerful journey! To walk through centuries of shame, blame and violence to find Hashem is truly inspiring and profound. We are blessed to have you as part of our Mispacha. Welcome back.

You are so brave. Paying attention, asking questions, researching, and THINKING takes courage.

בהצלחה לכם! ושתצרו יחד משפחה מאושרת וילדים בריאים וצדיקים.

I am still captivated by your sweetness, beauty and wisdom. I think that your are better Jews than many among us! it is said that converts were present when the Torah was given on mount Sinai, you two were definitely there. You and your children are an asset to the Jewish people! ישר כוח וחג אורים שמח🕎 blessings from a grandma i Jerusalem😍

I wish you and all your family a happy, joy filled 🕎 Chanukah 🕎❣💕

I left from ",Messianic Judaism"/Christianity in 2018. I've wanted to convert since about then, but my family isn't ready yet. I am so glad to see what HaShem has done for you!

I came to the same conclusion also. So many are discovering the truth. Baruch HaShem!

Nothing but respect for those who truly study in pursuit of truth.

I left Christianity because of Revelation 18:4 and the realization that Yeshua never came to establish a new religion but to seek and call the lost tribes to reconciliation. I am grateful beyond words to be out of that system of errors and false doctrine and be grafted into Messianic Torah Observant Israel. Praise Yah, blessed be His name, and the name of Yeshua HaMashiach by whom I can come boldly before the throne of grace.

I like your channel, my question is now you are practicing Ashkenazi traditions or Sepharadic traditions?? It will be interesting to hear about it

Thanks!

This is the first time I watch this video and I have both of Tanakh and Bible. I didn't realize that the contents of Tanakh and the Bible are different until you mentioned it.

As I am presently studying with an Orthodox Chabad Rabbi I just want to tell you both how much I value your videos and your beautiful conversion journey! You give so much encouragement and validation to why Judaism is the TRUTH!! You both nailed it!!

I love how logical your thought process is. Learning and researching to reach your truth. You both would make excellent teachers. Happy Hanukkah to you and your family.

Just ran across you on KZfaq. Thank you so much. My mother was Jewish and my father Catholic. We were raised both. I went to the temple and to the catholic church. The church never made sense to me even as a young child. So I stayed with Judaism. My bothers on the other hand stayed with the church. I raised my children the way I was raised. They attended all Christian churches and Temple. I left it up to them to decide which was best for them. They chose Christianity. I have many grandchildren. All are Christians expect for one. My granddaughter. She told me when she was 17 that she studied World Religions in school, and now wants to be Jewish. That was 2 years ago. She asked me the other day to show her how to make latkes. She has a menorah in her dorm room that she lights during Hanukkah. She reads the torah etc. I am so proud of her.

It takes guts and integrity to go through what you are doing. And ever more so to do it openly without fear on this channel. Thats Kidush Hashem. Kings David’s great grandmother was Ruth the Moabite who chose to join the Jewish faith out of love humility and kindness. All of which I find in you

Welcome to the tribe! My journey is very similar to yours. Shalom!

Love you- so much inspiration I salute you both for doing what you believe in. So inspiring

Also Chanukah Sameach! May your house always be filled with light. Except when your sleeping jk. Only good things to come!

I’m so happy this topic came up. I was thinking the same question. I’m currently learning Hebrew because I have questions with the New Testament and I want to understand the Hebrew Scriptures. The Christian church agrees that the Old Testament is God’s Word and now I’m critically thinking about Jesus etc. I too was raised Christian and the church basically concentrates on the New Testament-so I never really questioned the New Testament. Thank you for sharing your experiences as you go through this journey.

As a jew who left Judaism, good luck…

8:11 Jesus didn't celebrate Christmas or Easter. 😢 What do you mean? How can Jesus celebrate Christmas and Easter?

Thanks for the video, I am a Christian but have wondered about many of these same things as you talked about. I've even begun to research Jewish holy days and their meaning

My wife and I left Christianity 2 years ago and saw paganism in it. Yes Jesus is not the Messiah. The catholic church took the false Messiah and made him Greek and named him a Greek name. The real Messiah is a Jewish man who practices judaism, not Christianity. Christians claim to believe the Old Testament/Tanakh but never celebrate the feast days or keep Torah. That is what we saw and got out fast. Now we are starting our conversion process. Your videos are a help. Thank you for taking us on your journey.

You Guys are Amazing! We are honoured to have you as part of the Jewish nation! 😀

Tenach is only the start. You’ll learn there are layers and secrets and codes and laws to what we do and how to do it, when you get the Gemara is where all the excitement begins. Best of luck connecting to Hashem on your beautiful journey.

I respect y’all a ton. Thanks for being raw. How did your first address this with your extended family?

I'm sorry, I normally find your videos interesting and while I don't always agree I like to hear a different perspectives. But in this video I feel like there were so so many things you said that were just reflecting that you poorly understood Christian Church History to begin with or are naïve to certain things. For example, any Christian who claims the Hosea passage is specifically speaking about Jesus Christ is wrong. That was not the purpose of what Matthew was saying when connecting the two passages. But the thing that made me spit out my coffee on this video was you questioning why Jesus didn't celebrate Christmas or Easter......uh....are you seriously asking why Jesus didn't celebrate a holiday pertaining to HIS birthday and a holiday pertaining to his Resurrection? That is like asking "Why did MLK not celebrate MLK day?" Someone cannot celebrate something which is not yet established in tradition. You totally lost me with this video.

Thank you for making this video. I'm still on my journey myself. I cant thank HASHEM enough for allowing me to learn the little I know. The more I learn the more bless and happy I am. Baruch HASHEM.

I am so enjoying your videos as a black couple expressing your journey to Judaism. I too am a convert to Judaism. I converted 7 years ago when I was around 29. I never felt like Christianity was all away for me. I too did not understand if Jesus was Jew why are Christians practicing so differently. I did have one question for you all. Are you converting under the guidelines of Ashkenazi orthodoxy? Or are you looking into some of the Jewish cultures from Africa? Like the Sephardic Jews or Mizrahi or the Jews from Ethiopia and Eritrea? I have recently learned that these groups do not have a breakdown on conservative orthorox or formed. It's just one branch. Customs may be different. But Judaism is the same.

We love you too!!! Chanukkah Sameach!!!

“Mind boggling” yes yes agreed 👍 I’m also a person raised Catholic then left as young adult to Protestant Christian now chasing Him and going to original religion Orthodox Judaism, that our maker set up! So many things I’ve been learning as I’m studying Tanach! It’s all right there in black and white! It’s all right there…To anyone who is still a Christian or Muslim please Read it don’t count on your priest or pastor they just learned in a school. Please read it for yourself. Thank you once again for honesty! Yes we believe in echad! The G-d of Israel! Thank you for a beautiful video. You both communicate very clearly, thank you for taking the time. So very important and appreciated. ❤

I grew up without religion in the USA. When i learned about Judaism and the various forms of Christianity, I always wondered why Christians don't worship HaShem directly. I still don't understand why. I also don't understand why the Sabbath is on Sunday mornings for most Christians. Genesis clearly indicates that the day begins in darkness and concludes with the sun. Shabbos beginning on Friday evening makes a lot of sense to me.

Baruch HaShem 🙏🏽✡️🌈

When you mentioned Hungry Howie's though! Lol! I was raised in Michigan 😁 Thank you for the scriptural references for the qualifications of the Messiah 🙏

Thank you for another fascinating video. Happy Chanukah to you and your family 😀🕎🍩🥔❤️

Thank you guys for everything you do. I am a Reform Jew so definitely not as Orthodox as you two haha but I do try and frum it up my relationship with Hashem. I try to observe the 10 commandments to the best of my ability, go to temple, or at least attend evening and morning service as often as I can although that may not always be possible since life is constantly going and never stopping, and just am just trying to be a good human-being overall. You guys rock!!!

Qualifications of Mashiach: 1. He will descend from the line of David (through King Solomon). His father will actually be from King David’s lineage. So a miraculous virgin birth does not count. 2. He will bring the Jewish people back to the land of Israel 3. He will build the third temple 4. He will compel all of Israel to walk in the ways of G-d 5. He will fight the wars of G-d (to restore Jewish sovereignty over the land of Israel and implement Torah law) 6. He will teach Torah to the world 7. He will bring peace to the world 8. There is NO second coming. This is not a Torah concept, but a Christian one. If he does ALL OF THIS and is successful then he is certainly Mashiach. If one fails to do at least one of these, he CANNOT and IS NOT the Mashiach.

Ok so I actually left Christianity for good this year myself but for different reasons. I think your reasons are really well thought out. Especially with the messianic misunderstandings Christians spread. I also caught onto the demographic issues concerning early Christianity (attracting Pagans/gentiles by mixing in their philosophy/religious concepts). While I remain a theist, at this time I find anything to do with the Abrahamic tradition not anything I want to deal with. All the same I applaud you for doing that self work to question and come to truth on your own and changing when it wasn’t easy. I wish you peace and wellness in your spiritual life and I hope Judaism is that base that will keep you grounded.

I watched this video expecting to hear something that would challenge belief in the Christian Bible. You guys seem very smart but for whatever reason you seem to have ignored all the glaring holes in the points that you made. I'm not sure if you are doing that intentionally to be purposefully misleading, or if you are just mislead yourselves. You specifically asked that people not evangelize on here so I won't give a point-by-point response. I just think it seems obvious that you've thrown the baby (excuse the pun) out with the bath water. There is a whole movement of Christians who keep Torah and Sabbath and follow Yeshua. Just not sure why you skipped it.

Thank you for sharing your story., I've been a Christian all my life ( though found that genetically am Jewish ( Ashkenazi and am very Eastern European) but it's all I've ever known. I was baptized Catholic, but grew up in many flavors of Protestantism etc. finished the rest of my classes as an adult to become Catholic. Fast forward to last year ( when I was 47yrs old) and one day I just thought to myself, " Why don't we celebrate Chanukah? Jesus celebrated Chanukah. Why don't we as Christians celebrate it? Then I began asking more questions such as : If Jesus was Jewish and celebrated Jewish holidays, than why don't Christians celebrate these holidays as well? Just recently the verse of Jesus saying that he was not there to abolish the law but to full fill it. Then I was thinking: So why aren't we following Jewish tradition if he wasn't there to change things? I, of course, have so many questions and you both explain things so clearly. I don't hold it against anyone that follows their heart when it comes to searching for truth and having the wisdom to do so. I enjoy your videos and appreciate all you do to make them informative.

With respect, you quote Deut about not adding to the Word, and I agree, but where did God command Hanukkah and Purim?
