מצווה גוררת מצווה , עברה גוררת עברה .

English : One good deed will bring another good deed, one transgression will bring another transgression.

– Pirkei Avot 4:2

Update : I'm taking down and banning anyone who makes "conversion to judaism" posts , on this community , I'm completely against conversion and proselytism of non-jews in this community , The traditional rabbinic view ( that is also my view as well ) , dating back to Talmudic times, discourages accepting non-jews into judaism ,

Rabbi Helbo ;

“קשים גרים לישראל כספחת”

English ; “"Converts" are as hard to the Jewish people as a leprous scab on the skin”

The Rambam ( Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon ) ;

ואם לא נמצא להם עילה, מודיעין אותן כובד עול“ התורה, וטורח שיש בעשייתה על עמי הארצות, כדי שיפרושו.”

English ; “And if no justification is found for them, the burden of the Torah Ha-Qudesha is made known to them, and the effort involved in its observance is emphasized to the common people, so that they may refrain.”

Again , if some person or individual makes a post about "conversion" , it will be removed and the person or individual will be banned from this community ( from The Jewish Community of Lemmygrad ) .

MODERATORS
 

Judaism is unique among Abrahamic faiths in that while sometimes conversions are permissible, most Jews discourage them anyway since Judaism has high standards for conversion. You cannot simply get baptized in a mikveh or fall to your knees and accept Moses as your Savior in order to become a giyoret or ger. It can take months or even years of studying and training before a Rabbi can certify you. Contrary to popular misconception, being one of the Chosen People is a responsibility, not a privilege.

If you did some research, thought about it, and remain certain about converting anyway, then you may be able to find a synagogue nearby that can assist you with this, or perhaps a Rabbi who can. Whatever the case may be, we cannot assist you with conversion; this is not the best place for getting started.
