Hi, Thanks in advance. Can an Ashkenazi jew convert to become a sfardy or a sfardy to Ashkenazi? It differs in food on Passover And if the ladies hair may be seen 2 inches And for kashrus by meat etc.

Answer

Thank you for your question. A convert can go by Sfardy or Ashkenazi Hallachot and minhagim. Whichever he chooses. He has to decide which is the best for him, and go by all their Hallachot. The best is for the Beit din to tell the convert to go by a certain group (Sfardy or Ashkenazi) for a while on condition that after he learns a little more he may decide for good which group he prefers to belong to. See Halichot Shlomo, 5;80). All the best

Yom Kippur And Succot

At first glance one may think that these two special days stand in stark contradistinction one from the other, and yet there is an underlying theme that binds them together.

The Commandment of Hakel

The whole nation "the men, the women, and the small children, and your stranger who is in your cities" gathers in the Temple.

Dwelling in God's Palace

Early authorities ask: Why does the Torah enjoin us to commemorate the Clouds of Glory of all things. Why not the Manna? Why not Miriam's Well? After all, the presence of these miracles may have been even more important than the Clouds of Glory.

Together in the Sukkah

The mitzvah of joy on Sukkot includes not only family members, but also the poor and lonely. A primer for the holiday.
