Generally speaking, rab- binic tradition insists that one who converts to Judaism must do so only with absolute conviction based solely upon his own volition without any feeling of compulsion or ulterior motive. The first question asked of a candidate for conver- sion is "Why are you con- verting?" (i.e., for what reason?) If anything, an at- tempt is made to dissuade the candidate from convert- ing, by pointing out the hardships and antagonism suffered by Jews (Yebamot 77a). 0 I .-../ 27701 Orchard Lake Road Near 12 Mile 553-2191.

At certain times hostile governments under which Jews lived actually forbade them from converting non- Jews to the Jewish faith. At other times, the rabbis sus- pected some converts of be- coming informers and perhaps for having con- verted in the first place in order to be able to inform against the Jewish com- munity. It is also mentioned in the rabbinic literatwe that in some places con- verts embarrassed the existing Jewish popula- tion by adhering to the practices and prinCiples of the Jewish faith with more fervor and loyalty than natural-born Jews. There is no question that converts are accepted into the Jewish community to- day, but only after it has been ascertained that they are voluntarily willing to accept all the command- ments and practices as well as the prohibitions of the Jewish faith. To conduct any kind of missionary ac- tivity would certainly be against the aforementioned principle of conversion. Restaurant and Lounge Located In Holiday Inn of Farmington 10 Mile & Gd.
