The tradition is that the religion is passed down through the mother, but nowadays you can choose to become Jewish if either parent is Jewish. If you marry a Jewish man, you can become Jewish but only if you take special classes to learn about the religion and write a test. If you want to convert you can also take these classes and write a test, but it is generally a more elaborate process if you are doing it without the help of a Jewish fiancé.
Answer:Judaism doesn't proselytize, but those who by their own decision request to become Jewish are accepted (not just nowadays). According to Orthodox Jewish law, learning and passing a test are not enough. The convert must sincerely intend to observe the Torah's commands, immerse in a ritual bath (mikveh), and (for males) undergo circumcision.
