Of Course. Start learning about the many sects. The reformed Jew is the easiest and most friendly and most westernized. Orthodixy and Chassidic and life changes to the extreme. reconstructionists try to make relevent the teachings in the old testament and other Jewish books to modern times, Conservatives are between Orthodix and Reformed, and not too easy. Jews For Jesus is not recognized, as is Masonic Jews.
Talk to a reformed rabbai.

It is possible. Why would you want to? After Christ returned the Jewish Nation was no longer seen as GOD's People. He now has a group of Christians to watch over. Have a great evening.

You can become a Jew exactly the same way a Canadian can become American. It requires study and commitment.
Ruth was the first Jewish convert and she became the mother of the line of David.

you can convert to Judaism but you cannot "become a Jew" any more than you could "become" an Italian. As for conversion -- Charlotte did it on Sex and the City so I'm sure you could take some classes and subscribe to any superstition you wish. Good luck

Actually it tends on what kind of judaism, some (only a few really) still don't really allow converts, because they see it as a peoplehood/ race rather than a religion. Though most branches, and the branches you'd be more likely to convert to (Reform/reconstructionist) do.

Yes it is possible. Ruth became a Jew, and so did Tamar, and Rahab. They were not born Jews. I ask this question at church, and it is a religion.

Jew refers to a nationality of people. You can't change your nationality, however, you could become Jewish, which refers to the religeon. Anyone can change their religeous preference.

You can convert and I think most Jews would accept you, but some might have more Orthodox standards.

yes. you would have to speak to a rabbi and start the conversion process, which is fairly long and requires a good deal of effort and learning.
EDIT
read the books "becoming a jew" by maurice lamm and "this is my God" by hermann wouk. they are both written from the orthodox perspective of conversion and will tell you everything you need to know about judaism and conversion to it.
