Conversion question

[Deut 13:1]

I respect your beliefs but I guess we agree to disagree on what to believe.

Judaism isn't meant to seek out converts, that is why the challenge can be such a bumpy road. I agree with you on certain points, but I feel we as a people should be spending more time focusing on bringing the love of the Torah to the Jews we have - rather than seeking converts. Just my two cents.

Who said anything about going about looking for converts?

This whole discussion has been about how to treat those who come looking to convert.
There's a world of difference between the two.

I could be wrong, but I thought that was what Jazzymom was inferring... If I am, I do apologize as I made some rather long posts about it.

I was not inferring proselytizing. I was speaking about being welcoming to those who want to become Jewish and not throw roadblocks in front of them.

We need to be welcoming to those who simply want to become Jewish.

I don't think you have really read what I have said. Nowhere did I speak of proselytizing to non Jews.

I spoke of not making it hard to those interested in becoming Jewish.
