- Dennis Mirpuri appearing on his television programme in a Jewish skullcap
Popular sports presenter Dennis Mirpuri has pulled a major shock by leaving Christianty to join Judaism complete with a change of name and an attack on some pastors.
The affable presenter, who works for Starr FM radio and GhOne television, will now be called by his new name Naguid Tzadik.

The television cum radio presenter has even changed his outlook and dress style by decking out like a Jew complete with the skullcap called kippah or yamaka in his public appearances.
A kippah is a brimless cap, usually made of cloth, worn by Jews to fulfill the customary requirement held by Orthodox halachic authorities that the head be covered.
It is usually worn by men in Orthodox communities at all times.
Mirpuri's conversion to Judaism comes as a suprise to many as he was a known devout Christian.
What is more shocking is because he publicly professed his Christian faith and did not convert to one of the main religions in Ghana.
Naguid Tzadik questioned some Christian pastors with his new understanding of the Bible and the Torah insisting some of their interpretations of the holy book is fake.

Becoming Jewish means that most of what you were taught about spirituality until now will be irrelevant, and in many cases wrong.
You must drop the religious beliefs taught you by whatever other religion(s) you once followed or read about. People sometimes ask me, "Can I convert to Judaism and still believe in Jesus?" The answer is no. This is not something negotiable in Judaism.
Jewish doctrine about God is core and inviolate.
Non-Jewish beliefs about God invalidate a conversion (and Jesus is a prime example of a non-Jewish belief about God, no matter what anyone tells you).
So this could be a major change for anyone contemplating conversion to Judaism.
