Ask the Rabbi - Basic Concepts
conversion or not
Q: My experience until now is that many people want to convert, mostly ex-Christians, instead of remaining non-Jewish. One of the reasons is that they miss any structure and daily guideline. Can you explain what profit there is in remaining a Noahide ?
A: Remaining a Noahide is to be righteous among the nations even if the price is to be alone, as Abraham was against the whole world. The righteous is in truth not alone because the Creator is his fellow. The difference between the Noahide and the gentiles is that he fulfills the commandements of G-d and in this way achieves a direct link with transcendancy. With our initiative of spreading Noahidism among the Nations, we hope that in a few years new Noahide communities will be established everywhere in the world, so that you will not feel alone anymore.
