Hi! Rabbi Yitzi Miller here with a story about conversion to Judaism. Many people have heard the statement that someone who wishes to convert to Judaism should be turned away three times. But you know the greatest Jewish book of all time, the Talmud, recounts a story of two of the greatest Rabbis of all time, Rabbi Hillel and Rabbi Shammai who lived a little before the time of Jesus.

The Talmud recounts that three people came to Rabbi Shammai interested in converting to Judaism and Rabbi Shammai turned them away impudently and judgementally. They then went to Rabbi Hillel one by one and Rabbi Hillel received them gently and patiently. At the end of the story the three come back together and they offer blessings to Rabbi Hillel who they say; “Welcomed us under the wings of God.” Sadly they also cursed Rabbi Shammai who they say; “tried to drive us out of this world.”

I, and many Rabbis, would be honored to help you in your exploration of Judaism, whether for conversion or any purpose. And if you find yourself encountering a Rabbi who acts a little too much like Rabbi Shammai, well, trust your heart, trust your soul and know that Judaism welcomes you with open arms. Shalom!

A boy who was only 5 years old when he was taken in 1999 was reunited with his mother on Sunday for the first time in 12 years — thanks to Facebook.

In 1999, Kattia Liebers was mired in a bitter custody dispute with her husband in her native Costa Rica. And when her husband fled the country, he stole a part of Liebers’ life, she told Philadelphia’s Fox 29.

“He told me, ‘I’m going take your son away from you. I’m going to destroy you,’” Liebers told Fox 29′s Chris O’Connell. For years she searched for Jared, unsure where her husband had taken the boy.

“I was crying every day. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep,” she said.

More than a decade later, the wait is over — and her life has changed once again. This time, it came by way of a single message on Facebook.

“Hi, is this Kattia Chacon Sanchez by any chance?” the original message asked.

“Who is this?” the mother said she replied.

“I’m Jared Liebers,” came the reply.

“If you’re Jared Liebers, I’m your mom, and I love you very much,” Kattia wrote back.

Jared Liebers had found his mom.

Jared had been living with his father in Israel; on Sunday the 17-year-old moved back to the United States to be with his mother.

Through the years, Kattia kept all of Jared’s pictures and toys. And among Jared’s current possessions? A book of Spanish words his mother gave him.

Kattia Liebers actually kept her married name so her son would be able to find her after all these years, Fox 29 reported.

Today Jared Liebers is enrolled in North Penn High School in Towamencin Township, Pa. — and looks forward to catching up on half a lifetime.

11 years ago, Yaakov Baruch, a native of Indonesia, discovered he was Jewish. Practicing Judaism invites strong scrutiny in Indonesia. Undeterred, Baruch became the de facto rabbi of Manado and made it a mission to inform other Indonesians of their Jewish roots.

He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations. And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about. And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose. Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
Ezekiel 8:6-18
