One can become Jewish if he can convince the rabbis that he is sincere, and then he learns Torah and commits himself to living a Jewish life.

If you live in an area where it is possible, consult with your local Orthodox rabbi.

If there is none, check at www.askmoses.com .

call the rabbi at a temple near you and he will tell you where to take your conversion course. After the course you will have training with the rabbi, and he will decide if you have enough money to become jewish. Remember that jewish is also a race besides being a religion, and that you can't change your race if you are not now jewish, so if that's the case you will never be fully accepted into their temple, and that's the truth. And it's true that they will deny you three times, and that's because they want to make sure this is the road you really wish to take. Usually people only "become" jewish when they marry a jewish person so that's why they take the conversion course.

You have to approach a rabbi in the sect that you want to join (reform, orthodox, etc.). The strict ones will make you approach them three times,and they will deny you three times. Then, you have to study a heck of a lot, then you get converted in a nice little ceremony.

Generally, the Jews don't encourage this, as if you are a non-Jew, all you have to follow is the big 10 to get to be with God. Become a Jew, and you have to follow something like 416 rules.

EDIT: Nish isn't right, though it is hard to convert, it is possible.

Put conversion out of your mind until you learn exactly what it is. Simply because you understand the Christian version of Christianity, does NOT mean that you understand Judaism. There is no reason for you to convert, but I guarantee you will love what you learn in Judaism. You are welcome to participate in synagogue functions, and a rabbi will be more than happy to recommend reading material, etc. If after time you think you want to commit to the obligations necessary to be a Jew, you will already have some of the requirements under your belt.

Proper conversion to Judaism is a grueling 2+ year process which requires study, a change in lifestyle (and probably friends) and practices. Classes, essays and tests are all part of it and (if you are a male) at the end, you get circumcized. Not worth the hassle...stay a noachide and merit heaven without being Jewish.

Big Super is basically right--although, as I recall, one only has to follow the Noahide laws (see Genesis chapter 9) in order to ultimately be with G-d (note that I deliberately avoided the phrase "go to Heaven" since that's an entirely different subject).

As someone up here already said, find a local Rabbi. There are sites that have more info, If you search for your question, I gave a bunch to someone a few weeks ago, but I have one right here you can start with..

Studied the procedures and knowledge necessary, once, just to find out. It's too hard for anybody being casual about converting.


If you want the Truth.....Ask a Pagan.

God is available to all people. So, there's no need to become a Jew.
