Sabbath? - 2007/08/29 01:40
Hello all,
I've been seriously considering conversion to Judaism. In total, for about 5 years, but only very seriously for about 6 months. I have not contacted a Rabbi yet as I am moving in a few weeks and would of thought it much more sensible to wait and make contact with a Rabbi in my new area.
However, I do have one question that some of you might be able to help with and let me know if I'm totally wasting my time before I waste that of a Rabbi's too.
I'm a full time student and therefore work on a Saturday at the moment.
I understand that work is not permitted on the sabbath in Judaism, however, I read on a few websites - although I cannot vouch for any of their integrity - that this is much more relaxed in Reform Judaism?
If I HAD to give up my job I would, however, I absolutely love it and hardly see it as work at all, and would much prefer not to. I also study until 8pm on a Friday evening, which again clashes with Sabbath and would make me unable to attend any services either on a Friday night or Saturday morning or afternoon.
Like I said, I'd give it all up to convert if I really had to.
But does even considering it make me a bad Jew already?
