Is Britney a sincereconvert?
July 8, 2009
Unlike many other religions, Jews don&;t proselytize, which is why there are only about 14 million Jews in the world. However, &;sincere converts&; can be and are accepted as Jews, with a long list from Ruth the Moabite to soul singer Jackie Wilson, Ivanka Trump, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Connie Chung, and Campbell Brown, but of course I like Elizabeth Banks best.
Often, the conversion process requires up to a year of study with a rabbi, immersion in a mikva for women or circumcision for men, and many other signs of dedication. Lindsay Lohan seems to understand the importance of sincerity in conversion; asked if she was converting, she said &;I&;m trying.&;
Does Britney, who wears a Jewish star in the picture below, understand?
But if she become Jewish, she would be far from the blackest of black sheep. I&;m not even talking Tom Arnold here. Historically the worst would be Nero, who supposedly converted to Judaism to avoid God&;s wrath, but Liberian dictator Charles Taylor can certainly give him a run for his money.
