It is perfectly possible for a non-Jew to convert to Judaism. The first step is to make arrangements to have a qualified Orthodox Rabbi overseeing, in a personal way, the entire conversion process from beginning to end because the Orthodox community only recognizes an Orthodox conversion. However, each country, and sometimes even each city, has it’s own set of prerequisites in order to qualify as a candidate for conversion.
To take refuge under the wings of the Almighty is a process which has far reaching significance to one’s spiritual soul both in this world and in the hereafter. It has both spiritual advantages, and spiritual obligations which if not fulfilled can end up in a net loss. More importantly, if the conversion is not done with the proper preparation on the part of the potential convert, it just doesn’t work.
