Gus, thank you for your e-mail. I appreciate your sentiment and the fact that you want to convert to Judism. However, we have a problem on hand, as part of yor conversion, you have to be circumsized and at your age it is very dangerous business. In your case the surgen may need an ax and not a surgical kinfe. Are you sure you still want to convet to Judism? I also like to aks why? Are your posts are full of anti-Semtic remarks, then why do you want to become Jewish? Thanks Alex

Re: Gus, tell me the truth, do you want to convet to Judism? Why would anybody want to convert to Judaism in the first place? I can understand such a conversion is advisable for a marriage but in any other case? Material advantage? A trip to Israel? A job in the diamond trade? But then there's the frustration of having converted to a very close and "picky" community that won't wholeheartedly welcome you --just think of Ethiopian fallashas' predicament.... Not to mention the (geo)political side of the issue: to convert to Judaism, somehow, entails support to Israel (as a Zionist, Bible-based venture). Anyway, as far as I'm concerned I don't plan nor wish to convert to anything... I do, however, have respect for religious people, whatever their persuasion --except perhaps for the far-right "subspecies" like Christian Identity and the like. Gus
