Q: How To Convert To Judaism Online?

Rabbi how to convert okay I've answered this question many times so I'll give you a very short version of it uh in order to convert to Judaism one of the main things that a person needs to do is to move to a Jewish community so they're surrounded by Jews they could go to a Orthodox synagogue and uh learn Torah uh learn how to live like K uh you could uh as far as what to learn uh we have a uh syllabus on our website bash.org uh that you can download for free or if you want you could email us uh at convert be.org that's uh convert c n v r t at b z r a t h a h m.org uh and um if you didn't get that just send me a you know a message and I'll send you the email you can email us over there and we'll send you the syllabus the syllabus has it's an interactive syllabus where first it tells you the different topics you need to learn it gives you a uh list of uh book recommendations where if you click on the pictures of the books it'll take you to different stores online that sell them of course you can buy them you know elsewhere if you want uh it also uh gives you a um a picture of a playlist of uh different lectures that I did about the topic uh one of them being a four-part lecture that goes through all of the details of uh what you have to do in order to convert uh and once you have that that's the basic instructions now the main thing is is that there you know you have to have not just live in a Jewish Community not just learn the information but you have to have a rabbi uh sponsor you to take you to a bed which is a Jewish Court uh Jewish uh uh religious Court uh that is recognized by the raban that is going to convert you conversion in Judaism takes time it's not like Christianity or Islam where they throw some water on you or they give you some type of bomb and you become one of them no in Judaism it's we have to see that you actually can live and want to live uh the life of a Jew uh and uh that can take time it could take anywhere from uh 6 months to 60 years it depends on you usually most people uh that go to conversion takes them a couple years that's usually the average some people more some people less um but you know a lot of people say no I've been in a conversion for uh seven years because they calculate time that they first discovered the toah or they first started learning they considered that as part of their time that they started converting but it's not really true either way the point is is that don't put a clock on it of how fast you could convert the key is to uh no make the decision for the right reason do it the right way and you'll succeed but as far as conversion there's it's certainly possible for anyone that wants to convert to convert today as long as they're able to live in a Jewish community and learn uh the appropriate amount of toah and apply that to their life uh but if a person wants to uh live like a secular person but yet uh you know uh have some certificate that says that Jewish they don't need to do anything I just said they could just go to the computer type it on uh on a computer and then print it out and put it on the wall and make themselves feel good but if you want to live like a Jew you'll have to make some major life [Music] adjustments
