[quote=Anonymous]No, it wouldn't be okay. Because what you're saying is "I'm going to do the fun parts of Judaism - making the foods and saying things that sound funny - to see if I like it enough to take on this religion." That's being culturally Jewish - those converted Jews are always the ones who make jokes about being cheap and liking bagels and then claim "I can make these jokes, because I'm jewish." The religion is not about eating matzoh or pushing yourself to fast on Yom Kippur. If you want to explore Judaism then GO TO TEMPLE. Go to Friday night services and Saturday morning services, make an appointment to speak with the rabbi and ask questions. Learn about showing up for the mourners who are there every night after dinner to be part of the minyan in case it's needed You don't have to be a member of a temple to attend services. Pick a temple that has a conversion program. Ask questions about it.[/quote]
