[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - do you intend to practice Judaism? Do you intend to observe the Sabbath? Keep kosher? Attend services? Raise your kids to be Jewish?

Those are the questions that generally are brought up when entering into the conversion process. The fact that you may be biologically Jewish may be helpful to you, as a rabbi may be more likely to convert you if there is a solid chance of you already being Jewish.

Orthodox conversion would be unlikely unless you plan to actually be orthodox and observe Shabbat and keep kosher, among many other obligations.  The non-Jewish husband would certainly present a problem. Conservative is possible, but would depend on the rabbi. A reform rabbi would likely convert you.

OP here.  Yes, I would do all of those things.  I don't think that is possible in my situation, sadly.  If I am able to have a Conservative conversion, I would probably do as much as possible, anyway.  Do you have any suggestions re: looking for a willing Conservative rabbi?  For example, would one in DC be more willing than one in Alexandria?[/quote]
