While serious proselytes are accepted, Jews are not a proselytizing people. Would-be newcomers, at first, must be advised against taking such a step.

Those who do convert must: do so under the aegis of a Jewish religious court, immerse in a ritual bath (Mikveh), undergo circumcision if it is a male, and bring a certain sacrifice-offering (when the Temple still stood). They must learn Jewish law and are expected to live as Jews and keep the Torah.
