Question
Dear Rabbi, I’m a 15 year old male that was raised as a Muslim, and I have started looking into Judaism and I really feel like that it’s the right way for me. I know that I am still young and might not be able to properly understand but I have been reading the Torah while also learning about the religion by watching rabbis on YouTube and researching on different sites. I am writing this to ask about conversion to Judaism; how, when and what do I need to do and learn in order to convert. I’ve also heard that Judaism doesn’t encourage conversion and it could please elaborate on that as well. I know that you get asked this same question many times so I hope I’m not wasting your time. Best regards, *My name withheld

Question
My father is Jewish from birth, but my mother had a reformed conversation. I was raised as a Jew, going to temple every Shabbat and to Hebrew school. I have always considered myself a Jew. Only after I grew up did I learn the truth that I am not officially a Jew because the conversion my mother had is invalid. I very badly want an Orthodox conversion as soon as possible. I spent a lot of time around Orthodox Jews growing up and I already know how to practice Orthodox Judaism. But I have some questions. 1.) Do I get a head start in the conversion process, such as in the amount of time it takes? Or are the rules exactly the same for me and all other prospective converts? 2.) I had a bris when I was 8 days. Does this bris count? Or do I have to be circumcised again?

Question
Dear Rabbi, I have been pondering for sometime now, and no amount of convincing will change my mind. I want to be a Jew. But I am uncircumcised, and all the online advice for Jewish male converts regarding circumcision are for those who already have been circumcised. The very least I could learn would be what it would cost to get a mohel who operates on adults. As I have very little money and need to plan this in advance, to make sure I could save the money. Or if perhaps I could take it into my own hands and circumcise myself, like Avraham did.   Sorry if this question is a simple, or has already been answered. But I really would like some advice.   Thank you, A future Jew

Question
I’m trying to convert to conservative Judaism, but I’m not sure how to do it properly. I’ve started studying the Torah and learning Hebrew but I feel like I need some tips to know what's next and what rules to follow.

Question
Hi, if someone was Jewish but had no proof and needed to convert giyur or giyur lechumra and met someone who wanted to convert, would the beit din still convert them both if they were married, as they met out of love for Judaism and not one converting for marriage?
