Jeremiah 16:19 O Lord, Who are my power and my strength and my refuge in the day of trouble, to You nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, "Only lies have our fathers handed down to us, emptiness in which there is nothing of any avail!

Zechariah 8:23 So said the Lord of Hosts: In those days, when ten men of all the languages of the nations shall take hold of the skirt of a Jewish man, saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."

Oh I didn't see there was a video attached for some reason (maybe because I had javascript disabled). Watching it now.

Unfortunately many truth-seeking Gentiles are turned off by Jews (including Orthodox Jews) who care more about tradition than doing things correctly.

Could someone post what he says. I do not have the time to watch this (and most know I really don't agree with this rabbi about very much)... It would be interesting to hear what he is complaining about.

He tells about a man who undergoes conversion and the ashkenazi rabbis discover he uses Yemenite minhagim so they try to force him to give an oath that he would only follow ashkenazi minhagim. When he refuses they refuse to convert him. Rabbi bar Chaim then says this is more common then you think and also happens with sefaradi rabbis who refuse to convert unless the person swears he will follow only sefaradi minhag.

I believe that it happens, but I hope that it does not happen often. I have not heard of these things.

Minhagim are not Halacha, and should not be involved in questions of conversion. I support keeping your minhagim, but I also recognize that others have their own. In my shul we recognize all but most prefer Ashkenazic minhag.
