Reply To: Goy keeping shabbos?

I in no way am educated enough in this to answer but, I know that someone going through the process of conversation cannot fully keep shabbos. I know of a story that goes something like this . A woman was in the process of converting to Judaism and decided that she would fully keep shabbos because she was converting anyway and she felt it was the right thing to do. One time when she met with the Rabbi she confessed that she had been trying so hard to fully keep shabbos, but as a smoker she just had to have one cigarette everyday including shabbos. He laughed and said something to the affect of it being good and you shouldn’t 100% keep shabbos until you are a Jew.
