PS-I decided not to convert at the Reform Jewish synagogue, since you guys said that their conversions weren't valid. Instead, I'm converting at a Conservative Jewish synagogue.

Who was this man? |

I am converting to Judaism. Last week we were in Torah class learning about prophets and we briefly talked about a certain man who died I think in '94 and
is said by Jews to be coming back. There is a certain sect of Orthodox or Hassidic Jews who follow this man and they say that he is the messiah. I want to
know what his name is and why that sect started thinking that he is the messiah. I'm enjoying converting to Judsiam and I will be awaiting your reply.

What on earth did a guy who died in 1994 have to do with a prophet class?
P.S. We very much appreciate your trusting in what we tell you. Right after telling you the reform conversions didn't work we did tell you the conservative conversions didn't work either. The last liberals the world ever saw were the Egyptians who sat Joseph's brothers down and fed them meat even though they despised meat eaters. Genuine liberals tolerate the opinions of others.
Today's faux liberals do not tolerate any other opinion and if one exists it has to be squashed. |

I forgot why they brought him up in a Torah class when the discussion was prophets. But who was the guy and why did his sect start thinking that he was coming
back? And you guys didn't tell me that Conservative conversions don't work either or I wouldn't be converting here. What conversions DO work then?
We only have a Reform and Conservative synagogues here in WV.

Back in the Pinchas/Elijah thread I told you regarding reform conversions.
"1) The conservative movement don't accept reform conversions. Reform conversions are so bad that even other movements with bad conversions don't validate them." That means conservative conversions don't work either. When you go back to the class, ask them who the man was. It was their class and I wasn't there. The last liberals the world ever saw were the Egyptians who sat Joseph's brothers down and fed them meat even though they despised meat eaters. Genuine liberals tolerate the opinions of others.

Ones that are according to Jewish law.
See how that fits... wants to be Jewish... following Jewish law... Jewish conversion... Jewish law... Are you seeing a pattern? What the reform movement calls "Orthodox" conversions. Those work. You do know what "orthodox" means? "Of, pertaining to, or conforming to the approved form of any doctrine, philosophy, ideology, etc." "Established." "Sound or correct in opinion or doctrine." That's why they work. The last liberals the world ever saw were the Egyptians who sat Joseph's brothers down and fed them meat even though they despised meat eaters. Genuine liberals tolerate the opinions of others.

Not sure why this is so hard for some to grasp? Maybe this will help? Want to become an American citizen? What MUST one do? Know THE American law (and be
tested on it), say you will follow THE American law and go through the other citizenship requirements. What do you have when done with that? One American!!
See how that works, Sprite? |

What do I do if there's no orthodox synagogues in my state? And who was that man that we learned about? I briefly remembered his name to type it into
google, but I forgot it now. His name was Rabbi Sch something. It had the sh sound, but was spelled sch and he had a synagogue and followers up in New York.
Please help me out.

Now I know his name Rabbi, he was Rabbi Schneerson. Who was he and why did Jews start thinking that he was the Jewish messiah.

Converting:
If you're serious about converting you move to a neighborhood that has what you need. Rabbi Schneerson: Google the name. See what comes up. The last liberals the world ever saw were the Egyptians who sat Joseph's brothers down and fed them meat even though they despised meat eaters. Genuine liberals tolerate the opinions of others.

I answer questions on Judaism.
A small group of people thinking someone deceased is the messiah has nothing to do with Judaism. Maimonides says we will know who the Messiah is because he will bring all Jews back to Israel, lead Israel in war against G-d's enemies and rebuild the Temple. Anyone who has not performed these three acts, there is NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT. The last liberals the world ever saw were the Egyptians who sat Joseph's brothers down and fed them meat even though they despised meat eaters. Genuine liberals tolerate the opinions of others.
