Convert - No Convert

[Yuriatin]

Ok – I don’t give 2 hoots about Ivanka Chump but my question is this – serious question – why would you convert to your spouse’s religion?

Does that mean that you weren’t really anchored to your original faith/religion?

Why is it the woman who’s always converting?

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner pose for wedding photos after ceremony at Trump National Golf Club

Ivanka Trump and budding real estate mogul Jared Kushner tied the knot Sunday in an opulent over-the-top ceremony in New Jersey horse country.

The millionaire kids spared no expense in the wedding shindig for 500 nearest-and dearest including Regis Philbin, who was reportedly tapped to sing at the Trump golf club in Bedminster, N.J.

The Donald's oldest daughter wore a Vera Wang wedding gown designed to resemble Grace Kelly's, a $45,000 hair clip, $130,000 diamond drop earrings and a $90,000 Art Deco-inspired bracelet from her own jewelry line.

The groom, who is Jewish, and Ivanka Trump, who converted to her husband's faith, said their vows beneath a massive huppah, or wedding canopy.

Ivanka Trump, 27, who is also an executive at the Trump Organization, has proved to be a chip off the old self-promoting block.

She recently penned a book, &quot;The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life,&quot; and did a prenuptial wedding interview for Brides magazine.

Even as the ceremony loomed, she kept her Twitter followers up to date about the big day.

&quot;Just finished a gorgeous hike. The leaves are spectacular and the sun is shining. Everything is simply perfect! I'm getting married today!&quot; Trump tweeted, just hours before she was set to walk down the aisle.

Kushner, 28, is the publisher of The New York Observer and a principal in his the real estate empire of his father, Charles Kushner.

He popped the question last July after dating Trump for two years.

The elder Kushner is no stranger to scandal. He was convicted of hiring a hooker to seduce his brother-in-law in an effort to prevent him from testifying in a campaign finance probe.

Not to be out-tweeted, Preston Bailey, the floral designer and wedding planner who also handled Donald and Melania Trump's lavish 2005 wedding, also kept his Twitter posse in the loop.

&quot;I can safely say it's the most elegant job I have ever done thanks to her great style,&quot; he tweeted.

They cut corners elsewhere for the wedding. For one, they got Regis Philbin to sing at the wedding.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> According to Jewish law, a child born to a Jewish mother or an adult who has converted to Judaism is considered a Jew; one does not have to reaffirm their Jewishness or practice any of the laws of the Torah to be Jewish. According to <span style="font-weight: bold">Reform Judaism</span>, a person is a Jew if they were born to either a Jewish mother or a Jewish father. Also, Reform Judaism stresses the importance of being raised Jewish; if a child is born to Jewish parents and was not raised Jewish then the child is not considered Jewish.

According to the <span style="font-weight: bold">Orthodox movement</span>, the father’s religion and whether the person practices is immaterial. No affirmation or upbringing is needed, as long as the mother was Jewish.</div></div>

so i guess it depend on wich kine of Jew he is..Reformed r Orthodox n some how mi no tink him is Orthodox...

plus if u go bak to di Bible , Ruth converted to Judaism before marrying Boaz and bearing Obed.

the torah is but the jewish people's interpretations &amp; evolutions of the older egyptian religions that had been in place since before they were in egypt, which they learned while in egypt &amp; adapted it to their own perspective;

i'm a rastafarian and i will remain that...i would not start calling myself jewish or christian or muslim or any other such thing despite the fact they all evolved from the same root &amp; i respect them;
but rastafari is the expression of my particular forefathers from my corner of the earth and it works for me; why should i compromise to please someone else?
i would not ask anyone to do it for me, so i wouldn't do it for anyone...if your faith is real how can you just change it on a whim?
