Possibility
To convert from any religion to another, simply go to a recognized religious leader in the faith you wish to join, and seek his help in converting. You can convert from Judaism to another religion as readily as you can convert from Christianity, Islam or any other religion.
Permissibility
According to Jewish Law, a person cannot convert out of Judaism as it is endemic to his being (although in the practice of another faith he would be committing blasphemies). On the flip side, Jews have never controlled a government in the modern period that has restricted the abilities or permissions of a Jew to commit apostasy (as opposed to some Christian and Islamic governments that have explicitly done so for their religious populations).

∙ 13y agoYes, however you would have to fib to the beit din for your Jewish conversion regarding your beliefs and motivations. Also, during the course of your study to be come a real Jew, you will probably come to see the reason that Jews do not believe in Christianity.
Furthermore Messianic Judaism is a form a Christianity and does not require its members to be halachically Jewish (i.e. Jewish according to Jewish Law).

∙ 13y agoYes, you can. You have full freedom and full choice to convert from one religion to another; for example from Christianity to Islam, from Islam to Hindu, from Judaism to Islam, ....
However, you should know that you are responsible of the consequences of your choice and you will be judged accordingly in from of God on the Day of Resurrection where you will be either accepted, by God (Allah) mercy, in the Paradise or you will be pushed in Hell fire.
You should know before thinking of convert from any religion to another that:
Islam is an Arabic word that means submission to God (Allah in Arabic). Accordingly, Islam (or submission to God) is the principle on which is based all God creations of the universe and before the universe. However, Human faith in Islam started with the date of mankind creation. All people were created on the principle of submission to God (Islam) and given the choice to have faith and submission to God (Islam) or to deviate from Islam and worship idols or partners to God. Accordingly all prophets; including Noah, Abraham , Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (Peace be upon them) are sent by God to reorient people to right path to God by calling them to Islam (submission to God).
Islam per God revelation of Torah to prophet Moses is called Judaism. Islam per God revelation of The Bible to prophet Jesus is called Christianity. Islam per God revelation of Quran to Prophet Muhammad is called the very name Islam.
Islam religion per God revelation of Quran to prophet Muhammad is the conclusion of all religions. As Islam religion per Quran is the last God religion, Quran is the last God holy book, and prophet Muhammad is the last God prophet, You find Islam message is universal and applicable any place in the world at any time until the Day of resurrection.
Anyone converts to any religion just if they find it the greatest religion in the world or the most righteous one. could you prove the superiority of Christianity over Islam???
if yes, go !!

Is a reform Jew and a Messianic Jew the same?
Reform Jews are very different from "messianic Jews". A Reform Jew is one who has adopted a humanistic philosophical version of Judaism. They also tend to take less traditional interpretation of traditional writings, Talmud, Commentators and Jewish Law. For example, Reform Judaism allows for female public Torah-scroll chanting, female rabbis, and supports gay marriage. It also permits eating non-kosher, desecrating the Sabbath, etc. "Messianic Jew" is a term used specifically for Christians who claim to follow both Judaism and Christianity at the same time. The Messianic movement is the creation of various Christian sects with the goal of converting Jews to Christianity by telling them that it's possible to believe in Jesus while remaining a Jew. Most Messianic Jews are not actually Jewish by birth or conversion. They are Christians who adopt some Jewish practices but apply Christian meanings to them. In any case, all messianic Jews are considered as Christians in both Christianity and Judaism.

Can a non-Jew become Jewish by nationality other than just religiously?
Answer 1I like to look at it this way. An Italian can move to Germany go through a process and officially become German. Germans who moved to America are still German.And the same goes for Jews, if you descended from a Jew, you are a Jew. If you convert to Judaism, you are a Jew. Look at the Jewish nationality like a country with the borders being Judaism, rather than physical borders. When you convert you become a "citizen" of this culture. Yes, there is still a "Jewish ethnicity" and a non-Jew can never ethnically become a Jew. Just like an Italian could never ethnically become German. But a non-Jew can become Jewish by nationality.Answer 2If you mean without converting, some non-religious Jews might answer yes; you could move to Israel, or live among Jews or simply keep Jewish customs and practices. The religious answer is that you need to convert with a valid conversion, which includes (among other things) the intent to live as a Jew.Answer 3No. A person who is born a non-Jew cannot become exclusively a "Jew by nationality." That person needs to become a Jew in the religious sense in order to embrace the nationhood-aspect of Judaism.Contrary to the analysis provided in Answer 1, while Israel is the Jewish State, Israeli citizens are Israelis, not necessarily Jews. Conversion to Judaism is a religious process, not a citizenship-like process (which exists in Israel for Israeli citizenship).
