    Converting to Judaism, but no local synagogue

    I am aware of that, but for whole community to ignore you - that's kinda something different. Seems they don't really give other choice to non-Jews for conversion than to be annoying and stubborn until they finally except. :tearsofjoy:

    Converting to Judaism, but no local synagogue

    I don't know, they said they can't convert people due to the lack of mikveh and bet din, however it's possible to invite bet din (and pay the cost of course) for the purpose of converting a person and use the river close to the city, but it seems that the community isn't simply interested in...

    Converting to Judaism, but no local synagogue

    Those converts must have a hell lot of money.

    Converting to Judaism, but no local synagogue

    You know a lot about Jews in Croatia. It was planned that's true, but when I did ask about distant learning and then going out of country for bet din they simply didn't reply to me and whenever I was in synagogue there weren't the people who knew the answer because again rabbi doesn't seem to be...

    Where did you find the magic?

    There is a talent for magic & spiritual things for sure, but that shouldn't discourage you for your goal. Someone doesn't have a talent for playing piano, but if they give enough will into it and learning they will master it. ;)

    Converting to Judaism, but no local synagogue

    I am asking out of interest if such things are possible, the rabbi isn't very open in discussing things with non-political non-Jews from what I've heard and everything goes by their secretary in talking with others. They replied that the conversion is simply not possible in Croatia and that's all.

    Not in literal sense, that's why I wrote it in italic. :D

    Converting to Judaism, but no local synagogue

    Hey everyone, so here's my question. The local synagogue is basically in apartment since in the time of fascism the synagogue was destroyed and the territory for rebuilding a new one hasn't been returned to the Jewish community since then. So basically the conversion is not possible since it...

    Where did you find the magic?

    I don't consider lighting the candles, praying and offerings to be magic but more as asking the god(s) to guide me and do something for me if it's right and will be good for me or to simply show my gratitude to them. But using magic would be me forcing something as I want and baring the...

    Where did you find the magic?

    Just putting a horse shoe on front door I think won't do anything unless specific deities are invoked for protection if you ask me. In Europe it's considered as luck. :D Many pagans won't practice magic for lots of different reasons, some simply don't find it attractive and let the destiny do...

    Where did you find the magic?

    Good thread, I hope more people will reply to it because I wonder the same. I have few books on making talismans, rituals and other things with magic but always felt that there aren't legit or that some things are missing (important ones) for the things to work the way you want them to work. I'm...

    How do Christians feel about Paganism and why

    Why would they have anything against us, their religion is ~85% similar to our beliefs. :eek:

    I didn't notice, my bad - in my native language religions aren't spelled with capital letters so I probably went with it. :(

    Same-faith....debates?! What?!

    Something like rabbinical debates in Judaism? - Kinda feel stupid now that I didn't think of that example before posting the question. :tearsofjoy:
