.Let's face it, it's hard to be a Jew. So why would anyone want to convert? Maybe it's better to be a righteous Gentile and Noahide, and not take upon oneself the awesome responsibility of all of the 'Mitzvoth' (Commandments).
Gavriel and his wife Yael Queenann converted to Judaism 12 years ago with Chabad in Seattle, Washington. Then, as Jews should, they decided to make Aliyah (move to Israel). Gavriel now works for Arutz Sheva as a broadcast technician. His dream to be a Jew and live in Israel came true, but his journey was not without its challenges. Should YOU convert to Judaism? Gavriel says, unless you feel like you are going to die if you are not a Jew, best to be a Noahide, a Righteous Gentile. Listen to this show as he explains why.
