Connecting Straight to the Creator

If an individual from any nation wishes to change their spiritual connection with the Creator, transitioning from relying on a mediator and being under the authority of the allocated angel associated with their particular nation, to establishing a direct connection with the Eternal One, they make a commitment to unite with God. This entails entering into the covenant that God established with Israel and accepting the specific obligations of the Torah (the yoke of Torah) that apply to them, known as the sheva mitzvot bnei noach (seven Noahide laws). Additionally, they align themselves with the people of Israel and renouncing all forms of intermediaries (shituf).


The process of this transformation can occur in one of two ways: either in the presence of a informal mini court (beis din) composed of three ordinary Jewish individuals, commonly referred to as "making kabbalah," or should a mini beit din not be possible to make this commitment in their personal capacity before God. These options provide individuals with the opportunity to embrace a more intimate and direct connection with the Divine, transcending the need for intermediaries.

By undertaking this transformative journey, the individual becomes a ger toshav, he now has the mazal of Israel, is no longer identified solely as part of the nations but as an integral member of the fourth category (house) within the community of Kahal (congregation of) Israel (comprising Kohen, Levi, Israel, and Ger). They are considered Yehudi (Megilla 13a) , which encompasses anyone who rejects idolatry, known today as quasi-idolatry or shituf.

This brief explanation provides a summary of the concept of ger, emphasizing the profound shift in spiritual connection and the avenues available for individuals from the nations to establish a direct relationship with the Eternal One. 

Further exploration of the intricacies surrounding this concept can reveal even deeper insights.
