Anyone wishing to convert to Judaism must go through a real conversion process. Giyur is the act of converting a non-Jew into a Jew, conditioned by the laws of the Torah. It consists of several, moreover, rather complex components, so you need to be prepared for it in advance.
Instructions
Step 1
The passage of conversion is fraught with many difficulties, so now only the main, but the most important components of this process will be listed. For example, a person who wants to convert to Judaism must unambiguously and consciously decide to join the Jewish people, as well as strictly observe the commandments of Jewish life (mitzvot). In addition, in order to initiate you into faith, the rabbi must also be confident in the sincerity of your desire, in your preparedness for the Jewish way of life. For men, it is compulsory to perform brit milah (that is, circumcision). And for women and men, immersion in the mikvah is equally important (this is a special pool filled with water and meeting the requirements of the Torah). As soon as everything that has been described is fulfilled, the non-Jew will become a Ger, a part of the Jewish people, and forever.
Step 2
For a more complete understanding of the passage of the conversion, it is necessary to talk in detail about the decision-making and the ability, as well as the willingness to comply with the new laws. When in Judaism it is said about the awareness of a decision, then this means a lot of doubts, reflections, tests of time. The unambiguousness of the decision should indicate that a person is ready to live 100 percent in a Jewish way (it is assumed that it will not be possible to live both the old way and the new way at the same time, this option is completely ruled out).
Step 3
You will also need to have an understanding of the laws of the Torah (laws of kashrut, Shabbat, and so on). Moreover, you need to firmly understand that their observance is always mandatory, at all moments of life, without exception, even if it will be associated with any inconvenience. Now with regard to the ability to comply with the laws. In order to really be able to do this, you will need to spend a huge amount of time (this can take about two to five years). Well, don't forget about your knowledge of Hebrew. They need to be mastered in order to be able to read the Torah and perform daily prayer according to Sidur.
