Will They Convert?

There are a few non-Jewish Zionists who have become SO passionate about fighting antisemitism and defending Israel.  It makes me wonder if there are ones who will end up converting to Judaism.

I sort of hope so.

Or I very much hope so.

I remember learning somewhere that there's a belief that if someone wants to convert to Judaism, it's because they actually have a Jewish soul.

I looked it up yesterday.  Here's more info if anyone wants to read more about it.  

I feel it can be compared to the transgender experience.

Just as a woman may be "assigned male" at birth, a Jew may be assigned "Gentile at birth".

I don't know if I would apply the Jewish-soul thing to people who convert for marriage.

I'm arguing inside my head.

Not all people marrying Jews convert.  So if only some convert, might that be because they are the ones who have Jewish souls?  And maybe that's one of the reasons, the universe chose that particular life-partner for them.

But I think there are other factors. Some Jews might refuse to marry a non-Jew unless that person converts.  This might come from their own beliefs, or they might receive pressure from family and community.
