The value of renunciation
Milagros García KlibanskyOne of the questions asked of a person who decides to convert to Judaism is where they live. If this person answers that they live at a distance greater than 2 km from the Synagogue, they will not accept the request to start the conversion process. You are required to move to live at that distance.
The explanation is that the person must sacrifice something to have a full spiritual life considering a sacrifice to have to sell his house and buy a new one. The distance between the house and the Synagogue can cause the person not to attend it, in short, they try to foresee everything.
