If the status change for both Jew and a convert is the same, then what is the difference? What marks immerson of a convert an initiation rite? It is something that can be done many times, am I right? Or there is something I do not understand properly...
I am acctualy having a debate whether or...
So, it does create a change? What confuses me is how it differs from other immersions in mikveh that were or still are practiced by other Jews? Is something special about this first immersion? Can we say that ritual immersion has two meanings, ritual cleaning and initiation? Or not?
