What does one need to do to convert from the Catholic Faith to the Jewish faith?

Question

Is it allowed, complicated? I think it is the holliest of faiths and would truely like to convert.

Answer 1

Conversion is somewhat distrusted in the Jewish faith, however, do your research FIRST and see which sect most matches your beliefs, then seek a synagoge in your area belonging to that sect and speak with the rabbi.

Answer 2

--Is Catholic--

Well...Catholics ARE Jews. I think you would be very surprised how really Jewish the early Church was and how profoundly Jewish the Church still is. Especially if you look at the old rites, such as the Liturgy of St. James.

Every single thing in Judaism leads directly to Catholicism. Jews who become Catholic, do not stop being Jewish, rather they enter into a more profound experience of being Jewish.

Remember Christ said "Salvation is from the Jews"

I recommend that you also read about some famous Jews who became Catholic

especially Israel Zolli Chief Rabbi of Rome during WWII.

So I think you really need to think over what it really means to be Jewish.

Answer 3

I can't believe people that believe belonging to a group, any group, gets you into heaven.

Jews do not proselytize or seek to make converts.

Even though some will come from their faith to recognize the Messiah, as prophesied . Are you doing this for love ?

The word holy means Cut off separate from the world. They are Gods Chosen people , but you really need to read your Bible. The old testament alone Describes in the 22 psalm every thing that happened to Jesus around 950 BC , The book of Hosea tells us those that were my people will no longer be my people and those WHO were not my people will be my people.

Genesis tells Abraham that all the nations of the world would be blessed my his seed.

Jesus tells us he came first for the lost sheep of Israel and that he did, all of the first apostles were Jews.

Think carefully am I pushing you to a denomination?

I never mentioned what mine is. I trust the word to guide you.

Do not deceive yourself the joining of any religion will not bring you closer to God, The only way is to find your religion in his word.

Use the process of elimination with the Bible as your authority and your eyes will be open if you are of the chosen.

May the Lord richly bless you.

Answer 4

There is quite a bit of different things you have to do depending on whether you are converting to Orthodox, Conservative, or Reform Judaism. To get all the info, go talk to a Rabbi of a synagogue of the branch you want to convert to.

Answer 5

All I know about it is what I saw on Sex and the City. I'm sure there's some validity to the process I watched, but I'm going to refrain from giving advice nevertheless.

However, I don't think it matters what you're converting FROM. If the catholics try to make you attend an exit interview, tell them to stuff it.

Answer 6

I have heard that it is complicated, but it is possible. You should go talk to the rabbi at your local synagogue. He could help you out more than anyone here. Good luck to you!

Answer 7

Get to a Synagogue and BEG them to even entertain the idea!

Answer 8

WELL IF YOU GO TO THE JEWISH FAITH.THEY DONT THINK OF JESUS AS MESSIAH.IF YOU LOVE JESUS BUT WOULD LIKE THE WAYS OF THE JEWISH FAITH.THEN YOUR LOOKING FOR MESSIANIC MOVEMENT.JEWS AND GENTILES WHO WORSHIP TOGETHER LIKE THE EARLY CHURCH. KEEPING THE JEWISH WAYS AND FEAST OF GOD. IT IS GOOD IF YOU GET OUT OF THE CATHOLIC RELIGION .PEACE

Answer 9

Take a giant step backwards.

Answer 10
