LOVE THE CONVERT

Beth, we love you! What kind of love is this that is commanded from the Jewish people, toward the one who changed, the one who enters into their lives as a Convert to Judaism, to be this Convert, to have book knowledge instead of parental teachings that is oral history. What is this relationship between a book and this Convert. Is the book one's companion? Does this book become a quill, and we then we are commanded to love this quill as our companion as we write our own book. 

And words? What are words? Can we offer these people who love us a kind word? A kind published word? A word d'varim [words in Hebrew] that loves these people back. They want to love and want to feel this beloved feeling we have for God, as a new feeling, a feeling of oldness becoming newness, so not to worship a foreign god as newness instead, to worship as the Convert does, to not die and go to Hell, to be in love and stay alive. 

Who are we to love? The stranger, why? Because we all were strangers in a strange land. We were once as the Convert is, to search back how many generations? We wish we knew. What can you remember? Can you feel your past roots? Can you remember being on Mount Sinai in your memoirs? How far back can we go? 

A place of dinosaurs? A place of the ape men? To live in a cave as did Lot and his four daughters? Yeah, we all were there, we are all brothers and sisters, we came from the same source. Who is this same source? Why, God of course. Who is this God do we are to worship? That's up to you.
