Answer by jessica4476
i think you have to contact a rabbi and take a bunch of classes and stuff.

Answer by C. L. Richardson
First you have to turn your back on God and deny that he stood in your place to pay for your sin…meaning you will pay for your own sin for eternity. Are you prepared to do that?

Answer by scotgirl60
Call a synagogue near you and ask to speak with the rabbi. He/she would be more than happy to discuss this with you, and maybe provide you some resources on the subject.

Answer by insane_mad_maniak
it’s actually very hard to become a Jew. it will take a long time and you will have to prove that you have thought it through and prove that you want to become part of there faith. you will have to go to a synagogue and ask the person in charge there about converting/changeing your faith.

Answer by Mark S
OK, so I’ll give you a serious answer. First you have to do a lot of studying; typically this takes 1-2 years. There’s a lot to learn about Judaism, both in terms of history and practices–specifically, the mitzvot–commandments–that Jews are expected to follow.

After this, in more traditional branches of Judaism (like Orthodox), you have an “examination” in front of a Beit Din–a Jewish court of 3 rabbis–who make sure that you’re sincere and have a baseline knowledge. Then you go to a mikveh, a ritual bath, and that’s it!

And for fast facts, see the great website below.

Answer by Green_Eyed_Girl
There are two ways that people become Jewish:

1) they are born to a Jewish mother; Judaism is a heritage

2) they convert to Judaism, and this involves some intense studying!

Answer by John S
Read the book of Hebrew.
Learn about the Covenant , and the Torah.
Eat Kosher diets.
Go to a Library , pick up a book on world religions.
Choose to be an Orthodox , Conservative , or Reform Jew.
Depending which ever one makes you most comfortable and suits your lifestyle.
For example if your real old school , you would not join the reform , because that means you would belong to a reformed group , meaning you would be joining a more modern group of this time , a temple , not a synagogue , design to fit today’s world. They are pretty much Liberal Jews. ( men and women praying together )
Orthodox is the oldest of it’s kind.
And Conservative is a balance of the real serious side with few Liberal views. ( men pray with men and woman pray with woman , ONLY )
You pretty much have to know “The Old Testament” of The Holy Bible and find out where a Jewish Temple or Synagogue is , and obviously the will take care of the rest.
I’m sure if you contact The local Jewish Community Center near you , they would love to give you some ” direction.”

First of all C.L robinson or whatever hi name is is so off the mark, I doubt he knows enough about his own religion to beoffering you or anyone advice. Of course you do not have to turn your back on God, that is the most ludicrious remark I have ever heard or read. Jews believe in God, the first few books of the bible, heck the entire old testament is the foundation for the Torrah amd Jewish faith. jews beleive in God, the fundamential difference is that Jews do not believe that Jesus was the messiah and the messiah has yet to come. If you know anything about the bible, it is the Christinas who are always preaching that it is their way or the highway, especially the baptist.

No, I am not jewish, but I am pretty far into my conversion studies, because I do plan to convert. I intend on marrying a jewsh man (and no he is not requiring that I convert, bu that is how many converts get their stat) and thre is nothing wrong with tat as long as it is not the only reason, you have to do it for yourself. I am urrently taking online courses with a reformed rabbi, we ow have a reormed rabbi in our are at out temple and she is helping me with the difficult parts. My fiance would never have askd me to convert and it is a surprise for him, I wil have just completed my formal conversion 9 weeks before our scheduled wedding. He will be very happy. He read an e-mail so he has an idea. I once asked him if he wanted me to convert, he said it wold not make him love me any less or want tomarry me an less if I did not, but seeing that I am taking an interest in learning about his faight and his culture , he told me it mad him want to marry me moreand it it made him fall in love with me in a compltely different way (and he only thinkd I am learning about it)

I come from an nterfasith family, my dad is jewish, my mom is episcoplaian, but not very religious. nine kids in our family and none are jewish. I bought my first book “how to be a jew” when i was ten years old and becasme fascinated.

Here are some ideas: Fist and foremost you have to determine what type of jewissh faith and customs you intend to follow and adhere to. Reorm Judiasm is my choice b/c that it was my dad is and my fiance, but my grnadfathr was strict orthodox. There are orthodox, conservative and the much more laid back reformed.. Depending on yur backgound, family religion etc., it may be mpossible fro you to convert to the strict form of orthodox judiasm. The do not even accept the choildren of jewidh mother who conver and are married to jewish men, so 1/2 jew by bloodline, 1/2 jew by mom’s conversion is not enugh for them

First thing you should do sfter you choose the branch of your new faith, i buy the book “Converson to Judiasm” A guidebook, by Lawrence epstein

Giur, the trm most ofen used for the status of those who become jewish threough formal converson is different in different cultures

To become a reformed jew there is no set stanard of time for this completion. Gerut involves a complex set of variables for each individual. Each person brings his or her own emotional, spirtual, familial and intellectual needs and background into gerut. It is beyond the scope of these guidelines to define any specifics regarding how long each process should take or the course of study for it The rabbi you find and are most comfortsble with, the rabbi you choose ti guide tyou, the rabbi and the prospective ger/gioret will ultimatly have to define such terms within each given situation. The time required for giur will vary depending upon the rabbi and the community’s educational program, whether it is a group course or private tutorial, and the prospective ger/gioret and his/her specific background in judiasm. Becasue I gre up with a Jewish father, attended hebrew school as a child (in addition to sunday school) both for a relativley short time, i was exposed on my dad’s side of teh family through jewish scholars to the faith, the Torah, theTanach and other rabbinic literatue, i even picked up a tiny bit of yidish (which will not help me in my conversion cermony ) for while it was the language em elder eancestros spoke, the formal prayers to be recited will all be in ebre which is much ore dificult (for em anyway) to rewad, and speak and to undertand.. with all these variables considered the least amount of time recommended for gerut should be four months, with an average time of six to nine months and in some situations extended to nine months
the fundamentals of judaism should be taught encompass ritual observancs of Shabbot, holy days, festivsals, and life cycle “mitzvot” of the jewish home and the synagogue, temple,basic theology and values, jewish history, liturgy and Hebrew language

Ther is far too much for em to tell you here. e-mail me at [email protected] and I will explain more, i can show you how to find an on-line rabbi willing ot t=do the majority of the work with you, etc. I cn give you a lsit of necessary books to readm guidelines for converion, books and workbooks you csn read and e0ork onat ome in orivate so that whne you begiin your formal traiing you wil be equipped to leasrn what you need in the expedited course and be ahead of the class so to speak., but here are a few places to get started

Answer by Dropshortandduck
For pagans like me I would have to marry one would I. No that is not right a male cannot marry a Jew nor can they marry a Muslim girl, as my seed is my right to the Temple Throne of thy house of inheritance.
