'My chest feels empty': Ariel Levin's journey from the British Army to life in Beit El...

Ariel Levin, a former British Army soldier raised believing he was Jewish, was informed by a rabbi that he required conversion under halacha. He initially refused but later converted together with his wife Talia and their children.

The family immigrated to Israel in August 2024 and settled in Beit El, where Levin describes the conversion process as a return home.
