The conversion process

Hi,

An interesting passage on the relationship between mitzvah-acceptance and conversion:

"A potential convert accepted all of the commandments and prohibitions, and sought to be circumcised.

"One person gave him non-kosher food to eat, saying that so long as this person is not circumcised and not immersed, he is not Jewish. His friend told him: This is true for a Jew, in that if he would touch a Jew's wine then the Jew could not drink it, but since he has already accepted all of the mitzvot, how could you feed him non-kosher food?!"

(Sefer Chasidim 690)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
