The value of renunciation
Milagros García Klibansky
SUMMARY: Judaism requires converts to live within 2 km of the synagogue, as a sacrifice to their spiritual life. However, as Christians, we should not see giving up certain things as sacrifices, but rather as resignations to prioritize our relationship with God. Every person's relationship with God is unique and there is no pre-established pattern to follow. We should not impose our own lifestyles on others, but rather focus on our own hearts and where our treasure lies. The apostle Paul's example of counting all things as loss for the sake of Christ is a model for us to follow. Recommended reading: Titus 2 and 3.
One 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.
