If I'm not Jewish by birth, is it possible to convert and become Jewish? And if so, would I be accepted?

Yes you can convert. Converts are fully accepted into Judaism. Speak to a Rabbi speak to a Rabbi to learn the process, it usually takes about a year.

Yes it is possible....but lots of hard work fom you....but why would you want to?
If you are thinking seriously about this, then consider the thoughts of your family and friends first....after all it will mean a change in lifestyle for you, and your friends and family may not be able to cope with the change......think of who and what is important here.
I suggest you get some information from a rabbi if you can....you will have to do this and make contact in this way anyway as a starting process to being accepted into the faith.

Speak to a rabbi. There will be a lot of questions for you about your motivation, but if you are sincere you will be guided through the process. Yes, it's possible to convert.

It is certainly possible.
however there are a few initiation rituals to join the club.
-Bris: they need to snip away some skin down below
-Bar Mitzvah: you will need to study a lot of Hebrew to be able to chant a few lines from the Torah.
There are a few perks to
Free acces to Israel and the possibility to get an Israeli pasport(with a name of your choice)
Free claim to Palestinian land including a House in one of Israels luxury Colonies.
