What is the process of converting to Orthodox Judaism?
Consuelo Hauck
Conversion to any organized branch of Judaism is overseen by a rabbi and completed under the authority of a beit din (a rabbinic court overseen by a panel of 3 judges). The conversion process begins with a course of study, either one-on-one in places where there are few converts, or as an organized conversion class. The potential convert is generally asked to participate regularly in Jewish services, and to gradually increase their adherence to Jewish law and tradition, as they learn. For men, potential Orthodox (and Conservative or Masorti) converts are expected to be circumcised, and if circumcised for other reasons in advance, a ritual drop of blood is taken. After the beit din approves the conversion, there is a ritual dunk in a mikveh, a ritual bath, at which point, the conversion is completed.

It depends on how strictly you define Orthodox Judaism. Orthodox Jews hold that their form of Judaism is the same form of Judaism practiced by the Biblical Patriarch Abraham.

However, Jews did not go around calling themselves "Orthodox" until Samson Raphael Hirsch coined the term in the 1800s as a response to the Liberal forms of Judaism (Reform and Historical-Conservative) that were contemporaneously developing.
