I am not an Orthodox Jew but I would STRONGLY advise you to undergo an ORTHODOX conversion which will be recognized by everyone. Do it according to Halacha (Jewish Law) or it is invalid.

Hello every one

Im thinkin of conversion too as i think if you guys want the real judaism there is only one,god say do not make any changes of my book not even a little IUD so that means all this versions of judaism trying to cut off the laws and modify the Torah which is not acceptable-if youre going to accept shortcuts you better stay the way you was born but if you want a real connection with the creator the way is only one - ORTHODOX!!!

So basically think long and hard, learn as much as you can and pray that G-d may show you the correct path. And one of the good things about Judaism is that you don't need to be Jewish to be a good person or even get into heaven. You should consider learning about the Seven Noahide Laws which are a lot easier than 613. I wish you luck on your journey.

Shalom

The belief is that we will not merit to have this wonderful thing happen if ALL Jews are not abiding by Torah. In essence by falsely going through a Orthodox conversion you help to delay the coming of the Messiah.

3)And finally Judaism is a faith of national revelation and redemption. By this I mean that as opposed to other religions the laws of Judaism was announced to everyone at Mt. Sinai not just one person like in Christianity for example where the belief is that Jesus was the only one with the 'truth" and he was to tell everyone else. Additionally Jews believe in the coming of the Messiah or in some circles a Messianic Age (having nothing to do with Jesus by the way).

To make such a promise, knowing that you will not follow through is equal to lying to G-d which I wouldn't suggest you do. 2)You will make it more difficult for others who want to convert. If you somehow trick the rabbis into allowing you to convert and then they see you on the street doing something you should not be doing, you call into question the sincerity of future converts, the validity of coverts who went the through the same rabbi you chose and the rabbis themselves.

Although they do have a conversion process it is not as in depth as a Orthodox conversion and is also not accepted as true conversion by more strictly observant groups. However, I would not suggest that you go through an Orthodox conversion just so that you will be accepted because 1) An Ortho. conversion means you are making a promise to G-d to follow, to the best of your ability, all 613 laws which are in the Torah.

Hi, I am currently in the process of doing an Orthodox conversion. According to Halacha, which is Jewish Law, an orthodox conversion is the only way to become legally Jewish. There are other "branches" of Judaism however who do not believe some or all of Jewish Law is applicable today such as the Conservative and Reform movements.
