Do converts to Judaism have free will?

Do converts to Judaism have free will?

On a practical level, of course. Every person chooses their path.

But there’s a deeper layer that people who have gone through this recognize. When that pull is real, it doesn’t feel like a casual choice. It feels like something inside you is already moving.

Chassidic teachings speak about a spark that burns within a soul, something that keeps drawing a person closer until they follow it.

So yes, you choose. But it can feel like the kind of choice you don’t really have to think about, like something essential to who you are.

The deepest parts of life feel that way. You still act, you still commit, but it’s coming from somewhere deeper than decision making.

And for those who feel that pull, you know exactly what that means.

Wishing you success on the journey.
