Six weeks after getting out of the mikvah, I went to Israel in 2000 for more study at Ohr Somayach, a yeshiva exclusively for converts. I wasn't the only black; there was a black guy from Philly, the crown prince of Swaziland and a bunch of Ethiopian Jews. Racism didn't disappear. After a student used the n-word, one yeshiva rabbi pointed to the offender and said, "That young man is a baby and an idiot and he's the reason the messiah's not here." Racism wasn't tolerated.
