If you don't have Jewish blood on your Mother's side at least, you will have to go through a conversion process. Orthodox Conversions can take a year or so. Rabbi's in Israel only accept Orthodox Conversions.

@Bregowald

Umm yes you can. It's a long and lengthy process but you can. Judging by your attitude, I would say you are likely a Non-religious Jew. Speak to a Rabbi and they will tell you so as well.

@TheJosephPrice You don't "convert" to Judaism, dumbass. You're either born one of us, or you aren't. You either have Jewish blood or you don't.

@Bregowald

If they are potential converts they would need to begin applying Jewish customs into their everyday life. Otherwise, the Orthodox Rabbi's and even most Reform Rabbi's wont continue on with their conversion.

THIS IS FOR JEWISH PEOPLE, IF YOU'RE NOT JEWISH THEN FUCK OFF
