Miryan,
In the Bible, the sacrifice of two doves (or young pigeons) is primarily established as a merciful provision for the poor who could not afford a lamb. This alternative allowed everyone, regardless of wealth, to seek atonement and maintain ritual purity.
But the Sacrifice offered by a convert was almost always 2 doves or 2 turtle doves [pigeons]

question
Now if Moshiach like Moses grows up living the majority of his life out side the community. How many people would or might believe he would need to convert?
I know he wouldn’t need to just like Moses

What do you mean by "outside the community?" Do you mean those who are halakhically Jewish BUT were raised secular or do you mean someone who's not halakhically Jewish? Reply

Dear Karen,
Moshe Rabeinu was obviously Halachically Jewish, since both his parents were descendants
of Levi, one of the twelve sons of Jacob.
But he did indeed grow up mainly 'outside the [Israelite] community'; first as the adopted
son of Pharaoh's daughter. Then, after he had to escape Egypt, with Zipporah in Midian.
Haven't you watched "Prince of Egypt"?!
Or at least read the book [Exodus in the Bible]? While I loved the movie, and especially the singing of the late Ofra Haza z"l, as they usually say, the book is better....;-)
Happy Rosh Chodesh Adar

Karen,
I don't know you and I don't know Rob Baker. And I certainly wasn't "answering for" him.
I understood that this was a venue for the free exchange of ideas on Judaism in the context of the wonderful quizzes that Rabbi Pozner presents.
You both live in Galut, while I live in Jerusalem about 1.25 km [just over 3/4 of a mile] from the Temple Mount.
I was trying to share knowledge. You don't want to receive it?
So don't receive it.
And Raymond of West Hollywood. I've seen you answer people's queries. Why do you do it?
I assume because you also want to share knowledge.

in response to Karen:
I didn’t see the replies.
My question was not about who Moshiach is but rather how people might react to him before anyone knows that he is Moshiach. Another words to everyone he is just a random person in a crowd or in the comments section and he does something that sticks out but it’s not his time to be revealed. It was kind of I wonder type of question like with all the expectations there is would Moshiach ever think “how I’m I going to live up to this” lol but at the same time he knows it’s not him but it’s HaShem so he going to be what he was meant to do.

I have family in Galut and know that Jews in Galut, and others in their own homelands,
have knowledge as well. I was reacting to what I perceived as a snub.
If it was not so intended, my sincere apologies.
But believe Me or not, being in Exile, in Galut, is much less safe than being in
Eretz Yisrael ארץ ישראל right now.
G-D Always Gives us an easy option and then a hard option.
I moved from Toronto in June 1973 and it was easy.
Please come home while you still have the easy option.
