[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chabad will be happy to support serious interest in conversion, though it would be a long process, and OP might want to speak to them to see if they "click".

There are other paths. OP, you probably won't be surprised to learn that the area you live in is not full of Jews. And the version of Judaism youre likely to find out there is minimally connected to traditional Judaism. You may not be interested in traditional Judaism, but then you shouldn't be surprised down the road that more invested  Jewish communities will not accept the legitimacy of a nontraditional conversion. Welcome to our community, but know we are kind of engaged in a fight over its soul over here and are probably heading for a major schism ourselves.

Could you elaborate on some of the issues that you think might be causing a rift?

I hate to sound crass here, but beggars can't be choosers, and if there are people in this world who are interested in converting then I don't think it makes much sense to either turn them away or not accept people who have converted.

I thought I had read something that said cheese by birth or strictly forbidden from treating Jews by conversion any differently?[/quote]
