Conversion to Judaism is a conscious decision that requires commitment and resolve. There are traditions, customs and beliefs to be followed by members of this religion. This requires the converters to go through classes in order to gain full understanding. The effect will be felt in all areas of ones life. You will be required to teach these things to your children when they are old enough.
You are advised to talk to other Jews and your family about the step you are about to take. They will understand your intentions, desires and reasoning and begin to get comfortable with it. You should be clear on why you have chosen to leave your previous religion.
The reason for converting should be clear to you and your marriage partner. Someone will tell you that I'm a rabbi but will not convert you for the sake of marriage. There is a demand that you must display genuine desire to convert. It requires a commitment to that way of life other than a publicity ceremony.
When the decision on conversion to Judaism has been made, you should seek an appointment with a licensed rabbi to discuss and finalize the process. The rabbi will try to talk you out of it in order to check your commitment. This is a test that must be handled well if the process is to proceed. You must indicate a genuine desire to convert.
You will be required to study Jewish life. This is a time to understand the culture, history and customs. It is a requirement that you must pass the test that follows. This happens in a court called Beit Din that tests how much you can adhere to Halacha.
The process of conversion to Judaism is followed by the organization of a ceremony involving iimmersion of the entire body in Mikveh. Those who have not undergone circumcision must be circumcised first. All that is required is a small drop of blood to mark the ceremony. This is a requirement for all males.
Children born before a mother converted will not get direct acceptance into the religion. This is the case to those who have conceived before conversion. It is a strict rule that is followed by Orthodox and higher orders among the Jews. An opportunity is offered for them to go through classes in future and convert if they wish.
Those children born after a woman has converted to Judaism are considered part of the family. The others have to take their classes and have their ceremonies organized once they reach the age of thirteen. This makes the decision more personal other than a hereditary idea.
Conversion to Judaism requires knowledge and understanding of what you want to get into. The reason must be clear and the decision voluntary. You will have a rabbi following up your classes and will be ready to usher you to the next level once you pass one stage. The decision to convert affects your entire life.
