    The reason for a Rabbi turning you away isn’t to be elitist. It’s to make sure that the person trying to convert really wants to convert. If you return to the rabbi three times, then you’ve shown commitment and aren’t just trying to convert to “try out Judaism before converting to another religion.”

    This tradition is based on the story of Naomi and Ruth. Naomi moved to a land with her 3 sons. They married women there but died soon after. Noami decided to move back to the land of her birth and her daughters-in-law said they’d come with her. Noami told them to find lives in their own land and two of the three left. Ruth remained and wouldn’t be dissuaded no matter how much Naomi told her to go. That’s why we turn away converts 3 times.
