Thank you Yaakov Langer and the Living L’Chaim Team! This interview was so much fun. You’re doing a great work! You should have Hatzlacha rabbah in all that you do!! Thank you for having us on!!

[@sarahnewcomb7739]

Good to see you guys here too. 😁The Harts take NY 🤝. Always looking forward to hearing what you guys have to say. Hatzlocha raba, safe travels & Good Shabbos 🌺. Thanks Reb Yakov for taking this wonderful opportunity.

When are you guys finishing your conversion already?! Come Home to Israel when you do! Lots of colorful Jews here…

[@ScenariosOfDrea]

@houseoflev I love this interview!!! Also Ethopian Jews are quite interesting to read about, you can find out how Israel helped save Ethopian Jews on Jewith Unpacked and you get to learn about Jews of color on Jewish Unpacked

[@gapeach14]

I'm African American and my father took an ancestry test last year and found out he was 2% Ashkenazi jew. It's not a large percentage but it has sparked my interest in learning about Judaism.

[@s.l-b8t]

In averege you might be the six mix generation from the first that was 100% jew.

[@GrandFyre]

As an Israeli born, American raised Jew, I am so beyond happy to see these two make this very powerful decision to become a part of us. In certain Rabbinical schools of thought, it is said that Hashem sees those who want to convert, as more intensely Jewish than some who were simply born Jewish. The reason being, is because the aspect of free will. A person born into Judaism, is not challenged on their free will, on whether they want to understand how to get closer to Hashem. And due to the strict laws in Judaism about not interfering with someone’s free will, this is also the main reason why Judaism didn’t propagate as large as the other religions, because trying to “make” someone become Jewish, is a violation of their free will. For these two dualistic reasons between those born into Judaism, and those who haven’t, but cannot be influenced to convert, is why those who do choose by their own free will to want to covert, it is an intent that Hashem sees more intensely than those who were born into it, and were inducted simply because their parents instilled it in them. For a non-Jew who was never raised in Judaism, to want from their own heart to become Jewish? It’s absolutely tremendous. They have invoked their free will, to want to get closer to Hashem. I wish nothing but all the blessings to this beautiful family of 7, May they make one day Aliyah in Israel, and settle in a beautiful home right near the waters of the Sea of Galilee. I can see it! 🙏🏼🙏🏼✡️✡️🇮🇱🇮🇱

Thanks for watching. Yes! They are incredible.

[@ajarnwordsmith628]

I started my day here in the UK by once again listening to your wisdom. There were things you said that build upon the commonality of humankind, a singular message for Jews and non-Jews alike, for those who are believers and for those who are non-believers. B"H

What he said about the 613 mitzvos was so beautiful!!!

[@angusseletto1511]

I think Yaacov is in awe of these 2 just inspiring thanks Langer guys....Huge Fan from Australia

[@shelleysr5952]

The fire will not go out for you guys when you finally do the conversion because you are already Jewish with your thoughts and actions,your ways and your understandings of so many different aspects that you are learning . It’s not the other way around of I want to become a Jew ,and then that’s what will make me be a Jew and practice . On the contrary it is an I am already Jewish ,and just need to continue to follow all that I have been learning and practicing .It’s already your life and the meaning of life for you. …that is how it just comes through when I watch you and hear all the wise things that you both say and share. And when it finally happens for you as you mentioned,you’ll know that you did it all right,in the right time ,in the specific moment that Hashem has planned. It will not be a change for you , it will just validate your ongoing process of Jewish learning that you are already doing and sharing…Thank you so much Living L’Chaim ,for having this couple on your show. They are so amazing and so true in their beliefs.it’s heartwarming

Please look into the 7 Noachide Laws, they are G-d's instructions for non-jews. Converting isn't encouraged and is often discouraged. The 7 laws are for non-jews. Not to worship idols Not to curse G-d Not to commit murder. Not to commit adultery or sexual immorality. Not to steal. Not to eat the flesh from a living animal. To establish court of justice.

[@mattikarosenthal3298]

What do you mean they are not Jewish. Just because they don’t have their “Jew cards” yet, if they are already living, JEWISH lives, and on their way to the BEIT DIN, they are Jews, as soon as they are welcomed into the community by the BEIT DIN, they will be considered “real Jews”, but many of the people in our community have already accepted them, and in our eyes they are welcome. They don’t have to bring their great great great grandmothers Ketubah to the Beit Din, only their knowledge and their sincerity. May God keep you and bless you, and welcome you to our people, you will be making great changes in the future.

[@lindahirschel4474]

They want to be true Jews. They don’t want the fakery. They want what Hashem wants, and Hashem wants them to do what the Torah says. The Torah says they have to take the final step to become true Jews. They want Truth. And that is the Truth.

[@rutbrea8796]

You're such a beautiful couple. I'm in love with Judaism too. My ancestry is a Sephardic Jewish family. But I was never told when I was growing up. Actually in, 1975 I separated from my husband and was pregnant. I didn't know what to do. I cried to the Almighty God, I didn't know anything about Judaism, the Hebrew Name in Hebrew, nothing. After my prayer which was with a deep pain in my heart and soul. I asked what I should do. I asked for help and guidance. Well, HaShem Elochim Tzevaot answered me by bringing me in a dream vision to the Sanctuary in the desert and showing me his precious Name. 35 years later started reading Torah and found out the vision in the Hebrew Name was actually that He, blessed is HE, was calling for my return. I did and found out more about my ancestors. My grandparents were from Spain and following my research realized HaShem, blessed is HE, wanted me back. I love my God more and more everyday.

Yes. I fell in love with Judaism for the same reasons this lovely couple did. Being able to connect to and honor God in all aspects of life. It has just been so daunting to try to do all of this living alone and having no support in it all. My depression had worsened a lot feeling so alone. How I wish I had a partner to live a committed Jewish life with. Very lonely and very hard.

Inspiring! Interesting that the Hart's wished to seek out "Jews of color". While the Jewish people can be found the world over, practicing myriad minhagim (and culturally influenced by their host countries, no doubt), it would have been valuable to pursue the reason they wished to connect with Jews of color.

i think it is obvious, there aren't many outside of Israel so it would be easier to relate to someone of the same ethnicity or "color" whose made the same journey - to start the journey

I wish that this channel make an episode about converts that had walked away from Judaism. 😢😢

Obviously, if it were not for The Lubovitcher Rebbe and his creating Chabad Houses and Satellite Should they would not have become Chabadnics themselves. Baruch Hashem!
