Fox News journalist and commentator Kassy Dillon has completed the process of converting to Judaism.

She later added in a comment: "Thank you, everyone. It’s been a very long journey with a lot of ups and downs. I hope to share the story soon. And for those asking: Yes, I converted orthodox."

Later, she explained that although she could trace her lineage back to Jews who were expelled from Spain, the rabbis who converted her are Ashkenazi, and she will therefore follow those customs.

I had the privilege, while staying in Atlanta on a family matter back in 2013, of staying at the home of a Spanish aristocratic family that was descended from secret Jews, who, when they discovered this fact, eventually converted to Judaism. No names.

“Orthodox” precludes that.

Not if she's Sephardic studying under Ashkenazi.

At least she completed her "training" in time to fully participate in her first Seder on Wednesday. Da-da-yenu...

I wonder what she converted from? Didn’t see it in the article. Converting from a gentile to a Jew is one thing, from a Christian to a Jew is something else.

I would assume from Christian to Jew. She’s hardly the first. I’ve known a few.

Since she says she’s descended from secret Jews from Spain, it seems most likely she’s converting from Roman Catholicism.

This sounds like Ivanka Trump converting to Judaism to appease Jarod.

I wonder if she is converting to the real Hebrew Judaism or the fake Golden Calf Judaism? The difference is that Hebrew Jews worship the God of Abraham, while the other type worship Satan. Ninety percent of Jews in America are the Golden Calf type.

Since she is orthodox, I doubt if she is the golden calf type.

Not sure how you did this, but clicking on your post opens a new tab, instead of the post opening up itself..

It doesn’t matter one bit to anyone what some bimbo claims to believe. A real faith conversion is between God and the person, not something to beat about on the internet.

Are you trying to convince me or yourself? If you really believed that, you would have just blown off this thread entirely.
