B''H Honourable Rabbi Yaron Reuven, My heart has been aching a great deal for months now about the question of conversion. And because I've been on the fence and haven't chosen a path, I feel my Divine service is suffering. I have two concerns about conversion Rabbi, could you please help me understand them? (a) I'm my father's only son, we've been very close most of my life, and I feel as though if I convert it would really hurt him because of the necessary lifestyle of a kosher Jew. (b) I'm scared of carrying HaShem's Name, blessed be He. And the great responsibility it is to be a Jew. I've been feeling as though I can't stay and I can't go. Even though I think conversion is inevitable. I'm male, 18 years old and G-d willing I'll be in the US in a month. Thank you for your time. , Jake.
