Reply To: If Donald Trump were to מְגַיֵּר and become Jewish…

Trump speculated that the reason the IRS audits him every year is because he’s a “strong Christian.”

Do you think that’s part of the reason he’s considering being megayer? It sure would save him a lot of headaches from the IRS.

Two out the three have to do with point of origin, so those are not options.

Sephardi has long ago become something other than describing a point of origin. Many Sephardim have no yichus to Spain. Litvak has also become to mean much more than shtamming from Lita. Many Litvaks, in fact, do not as shtam from Lita.

Besides, what does any Ger become? Many become Ashkenazim (even though they’re not from Germany), others become Sephardim and others become Chasidim.

Nu, what will Reb Doniel become?
