Conversion to any stream of Judaism is not fast. Potential converts must typically spend many hours of study under the supervision of a rabbi before they face a rabbinical court, a beit din, which will determine whether they can convert, then, Jewish tradition requires males be circumcised and all converts to immerse in a mikveh (ritual bath) before the beit din finalizes the conversion. Conversion is not just a matter of accepting a set of personal beliefs, it is about becoming part of a community and taking on obligations within that community. As such, conversion to Judaism can be compared to becoming a naturalized citizen of a country. Details of the conversion process depend on the community. Some large communities have formal classes for converts, with a fixed curriculum, while in smaller communities, converts study one-on-one with a rabbi. Regardless of the community, though, the first step is to consult with a rabbi!

Why is Judaism so much smaller numerically than the other two religions?
Lots of reasons. One is that Judaism doesn't believe in encouraging people to convert.

Nor did it usually have forced conversions like the other religions did. Another reason is that Jews have been heavily persecuted over the years and many were killed.
