In order for a Gentile to convert, a period of study is required, followed by a hearing before a Jewish court (called a bet din) and ritual immersion in a special bath (called a mikveh). Additionally, males must have a circumcision ceremony.
But Jews do not believe there is any need for Gentiles to convert.
