Sincere proselyte/ convert by conviction

Sincere proselyte/ convert by conviction

A person who is not Jewish who converted and became Jewish. A person who accepted upon himself, out of recognition and free will, the commandments of the Jewish religion, and underwent the required process of conversion including circumcision and immersion. A 'ger tzedeq' is considered Jewish in every respect.

(Naaman was a resident convert. Nebuzaradan was a righteous convert. From the sons of Haman, they learned Torah in the sons of Barak. From the sons of Sisera, they learned children in Jerusalem. From the sons of Sennacherib, many learned Torah. Who are they? Shmaya and Avtalyon - Gittin 57b, and similarly: 'If Michal Bar had wished, he would have made him a righteous convert. But Michal Bar had a different intention' - Agnon / Ir U'Meloah, 611)

Definition (Hebrew)

אָדָם שֶׁאֵינוֹ יְהוּדִי שֶׁהִתְגַּיֵּר וְהָפַךְ לִיהוּדִי. אָדָם שֶׁקִּבֵּל עַל עַצְמוֹ מִתּוֹךְ הַכָּרָה וְרָצוֹן חָפְשִׁי אֶת מִצְווֹת הַדָּת הַיְּהוּדִית, וְעָבַר אֶת הֲלִיךְ הַגִּיּוּר הַנִּדְרָשׁ הַכּוֹלֵל בְּרִית מִילָה וּטְבִילָה. גֵּר צֶדֶק נֶחֱשָׁב לִיהוּדִי לְכָל דָּבָר.

("נַעֲמָן גֵּר תּוֹשָׁב הָיָה. נְבוּזַרְאֲדָן גֵּר צֶדֶק הָיָה. מִבְּנֵי בָּנָיו שֶׁל הָמָן לָמְדוּ תּוֹרָה בִּבְנֵי בָּרָק. מִבְּנֵי בָנָיו שֶׁל סִיסְרָא לָמְדוּ תִּינוֹקוֹת בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם. מִבְּנֵי בָנָיו שֶׁל סַנְחֵרִיב לָמְדוּ תּוֹרָה בְּרַבִּים. מָאן אִנּוּן? שְׁמַעְיָה וְאַבְטַלְיוֹן"- גִּטִּין נז ע"ב, וְכֵן:"וְאִלּוּ רָצָה מִיכַל בַּר הָיָה עוֹשֵׂאוֹ גֵּר צֶדֶק. אֲבָל מִיכַל בַּר כַּוָּנָה אַחֶרֶת הָיְתָה לוֹ"- עַגְנוֹן/ עִיר וּמְלוֹאָהּ, 611)
