Shalom Rabbi My name is Timothy Whitfield from nairobi kenya and i have been watching your videos for two weeks now.I renounced Christianity some three months ago after i discovered the deception therein. Herein kenya chritianity is the wide spread religion. After watching acouple of videos especially the near death ecperince i decided i want to change my life for the better. The thing is that i dont know where to start. I really want to convert to judaism. I have tried to communicate with the single synagogue in nairobi but to no avail. I guess you know what am talking about. The only Rabbi whom i talked to is one from the US in which He told me cant help me because i was not a jew. There are no reading materials which i can read to atleast help me build myself and also there isn't anyone to help. Please Rabbi, if it's possible i would want to convert and live as per HaShem wants me to. I want to create a relationship with HaShem and know HIM more not as the christians decieved us. Hope to hear from you soon Shalom

Shalom, Converting in a country that does not have a large Jewish community and a Rabbi and Beit Din (Jewish court) that can convert you is almost impossible. First you need to start living according to the seven laws of Noah, which you can find a detailed description on this page about these laws www.atzmut.com/the-seven-laws-of-noah With G-ds help, very soon I am starting an on-line academy for non-Jews that will provide detailed information how to convert and all the details they need to know about conversion and also if they wish not to convert, then how to live their lives as a Noahide and much more information, so keep following me on this website and social networks to find out more info about it. As for your conversion, you will need to start seeking an option of moving to a country/city that has the options of converting and also the option of emigrating to Israel and converting there. Wishing you great success Rabbi Alon Anava
