Fleeing My Iranian Family, Home, & Muslim Life to Experience the Judaism I Fell in Love With

William Mehrvaz grew up in Tehran, Iran, as a devout Muslim, but his life took a dramatic turn when he embarked on a personal journey to find truth. After years of questioning, William ultimately embraced Judaism, leaving behind his family, home, and Muslim upbringing. Today, he lives in America as a proud Jew, inspiring others with his story of courage, faith, and the pursuit of spiritual truth.

God's blessings to you William and to your family. Pray for your family in Iran, God is good, and He does great things.
