Converts

There is a concept of "the Souls of Israel" as having a very special place in G-d's plans. But what about the converts? There are several views. One is that at Sinai, the Nations were also offered the Torah, but rejected it. However, each had some who wanted to accept it. These people return and eventually find their way to join us. Another explanation is that when the Tzaddikim (righteous) have relations with their wives that don't result in pregnancy, they beget the souls of converts. This is also an explanation of why converts are named son/daughter of Abraham and Sarah. Rabbi Nachman offers yet another explanation. When anti-semites do their hating, the Jews are deep in their minds and "guts". Thus, when they beget children, these come from their innards, and wind up becoming Jews. There have been many cases of haters of the people Israel whose children have converted.
