How to convert to Judaism?

Answer 1

For conversion to Judaism, consult your local rabbi. Because there are different branches of Judaism, you must learn enough about what distinguishes them before you begin formally pursuing conversion under the auspices of one of them. Note that conversion to Judaism is not quick and easy under any branch of Judaism. Typically, it involves a long period of supervised study, including regular attendance at Jewish services, plus appearance before a beit din (a Jewish court overseen by 3 judges). If you are a man, circumcision may be required, and at the end of the process, after the beit din approves your conversion, you will probably immerse in a mikvah (a ritual bath) to complete the process. You'll be warned that Jews do not believe that conversion is required to be seen as righteous in God's eyes, and you'll be warned that, by converting, you are exposing yourself to potential attack by antisemites.
