Conversion to Judaism requires commitment to following this tradition and religious belief. This is possible through in-depth research on their customs, traditions, laws and history. This is important in helping you understand what you are getting into and how to remain rooted. It is a commitment that will spread all through your life. There are laws and commandments to follow and you will be expected to pass that knowledge to your children.
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.
Married persons need to speak to spouses about the decision they have made. Those intending to convert because of marriage will talk to a rabbi who might tell them that Im a rabbi, and will not just allow you to convert for marriage sake. There must be an inner drive and resolve. It is not a publicity affair.
Making a decision on conversion to Judaism is followed by a visit to the Rabbi. He is the person to complete the process. It is common to have him persuade you out of converting in order to test your resolve. This process must be passed successfully. It is a mark of a greater desire to complete the change.
It is mandatory for you to attend classes . This is where the learner is taken through the traditions, beliefs and customs of the Jews. The classes are normally delivered in Hebrew. You will sit for a test when learning sessions end in a court referred to as Beit Din. They seek to examine how well you understand Judaism.
Trainees who qualify will be taken through the immersion ceremony at Mikveh, completing conversion to Judaism. Males who have not undergone circumcision must complete this ritual. It demands that a little blood be shed for the ceremony to be complete. It is a mandatory requirement for all males seeking to convert.
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.
