He converted at Temple Beth Sholom in Las Vegas, in 1961.
AM transmitters convert sound into amplitude modulated radio waves which am radios convert into electrical pulses which speakers convert into air waves that are converted into sound by our eardrum.
Under traditional Jewish law, Jewishness is inherited through the mother so that only children of Jewish mothers are considered to be Jewish. As a result, a Jewish man who wants his children to be accepted in a traditional Jewish community will seek to marry only a Jewish woman. Some of the more liberal Jewish communities now accept the children of Jewish fathers as Jewish when they are raised in the Jewish faith. In addition, there have always been processes through which non-Jews an convert to Judaism. This would permit a non-Jewish woman to convert, marry a Jewish man and have their children recognized as Jewish in traditional communities. It also permits the children of a non-Jewish mother to be raised and accepted as Jews even in traditional communities. In Judaism there's no such thing as "half-Jewish."

You cannot convert a standard radio to receive the satellite radio signal. You will have to purchase a Sirius satellite receiver.
No. As with any other aspect of Judaism, even non-Jews are welcome to study. Generally males only need to be circumcised if they wish to convert to Judaism.
Circumcision is rarely performed on adults except for religious reasons or severe medical reasons. For example, in order to convert to Judaism, a man must be circumcised. (If he's already circumcised, a ritual pinprick drawing a drop of blood suffices.) Most circumcisions are performed on infants.
The main requirement is the acceptance of Torah and the mitzvos (Torah-commands) with the intent to fulfill them. In addition, the convert must immerse in a mikvah (ritualarium), and men must be circumcised. People do not convert on their own; it must be under the aegis of a Rabbinical Beth Din.
According to Jewish law, a Kohen can't marry a convert to Judaism.
Yes. In Judaism, there is no distinction between a "Jew by birth" and a "Jew by conversion"; they are both inheritors of the Tradition and have equal religious rights, permissions, and responsibilities. However, the validity of the conversion might be called into question if the conversion did not follow Torah law. This is primarily a concern for those who convert to Judaism with a Reform Jewish Rabbi. Often, for example, such a convert, if male, will not undergo circumcision (or the drawing of a drop of blood if already circumcised), which renders the conversion incomplete and ineffective from an Orthodox perspective.
That is a major life-change and should not be done on a whim. First study Judaism in depth and make an informed decision. Conversion according to Torah-procedure requires the intention to observe the Jewish laws. In addition, female converts undergo ritual immersion, and male converts are also circumcised.
He didn't.
Nothing. Jews do not seek converts. If a person wishes to convert to Judaism, they are permitted to do so, but Judaism teaches that Judaism should not be proselytized.
