This blog supports converts.
If someone converts to Judaism they are Jewish, full stop. They are ethnically Jewish as well, because ancestry is only one of the characteristics of ethnicity. The Jewish people are a tribe, and goyish concepts of race are foreign to our self-concept. We’ve always accepted converts, starting with Ruth, but even before — when we went out of Egypt we were a “mixed multitude.” This has always been a part of who we are and, G?d willing, it always will be.
