Why is it that the Jewish Community don't appear to have evangelism efforts?

Question

I have never seen or heard of anyone of the Jewish faith try and convert someone over to Judiasm.

Answer 1

According to Jewish tradition, there's no reason for a non-Jew to become Jewish. In fact, it's easier to be righteous as a non-Jew than as a Jew, because non-Jews have to follow seven laws in order to be righteous, whereas Jews have to follow hundreds. It's much easier for a Jew to make a mistake than for a non-Jew, because there are so many more ways to fail. So why would you convert people if they are fine the way they are, and making them Jewish would increase the chances that they would violate one of G-d's laws?

Answer 2

The most simple answer is that since Judaism does not have a mandate to convert everyone else, there are no evangelical efforts to try to convert non Jews.

A more detailed answer could be found in the following points:
1) Non Jews can get into heaven by following the Noachide laws. Thus, non Jews do not have to become Jews to get into heaven.
2) There is an idea that potential converts must be initially turned away and only accepted after the third attempt. This is to discourage those who are converting for ulterior means (ulterior, in the sense that they are not doing it for its own sake). Evangelizing would go against this notion.
3) After being evangelized to over the years by Christians, the perspective of many is that evangelizing is something that Christians.

Answer 3

By the nature of the religion , they are not told to make an effort to recruit. God does not tell the Jewish people to make converts. It is in Christianity that Jesus tells the people to make diciples of all nations, because the messiah has come, there is nothing further to look for, except doomsday. Jews are still waiting for the messiah.

Answer 4

You got it right.
Although conversion is allowed in Judaism, it is not encouraged in any way. I think it has to do with the point that briefly converted people do not intend to take their new religion seriously. In Judaism you have to explain yourself and tell the Rabbis the exact reason for you to convert, and you will not be accepted if you're going to benefit something from your conversion. You have to want it deeply, so after the conversion you'll take it seriously.

The process of conversion in Judaism is long and exhausting, so only the true believers will get to be Jewish.

Answer 5

Jews are told to dissuade anyone from trying to convert. Not encourage them.

They think that converting should be a long and serious process, not like Christianity.

Answer 6

That's a very good question...Maybe they don't want to try and convert anyone. Maybe they are only interested in helping people who decide to convert to Judism on their own. I think when you try to force your religion on someone it's a big turn-off

Answer 7

I think you are born Jewish. They don't try to convert.
