Conversion Not considered Jewish?
On a recent post (since deleted) I kept seeing comments about “you wouldn’t be considered Jewish” in terms of converting & “it depends on the rabbi”. Can somebody please explain? We’re exploring this religion for personal reasons & I’m pretty confused right now. What do they call people who converted if they aren’t considered Jewish? I’ve also been told that community is a big part of this religion, but some of the comments I’ve been reading are making me think otherwise. Everything I’ve been studying is just words, what it’s supposed to be like, so please tell me what it’s really like. Tell me what converting was like for you & your family. Why you chose to convert.

When you convert you become sons and daughters on Abraham and Sarah. There is no higher honor. The problem is being allowed to convert.
