[QUOTE="Kevin, post: 2035533, member: 208873"] I've been thinking about converting for a long time, I have this enormous passion for Judaism and the Jewish people, so I know its what I want. But I have some questions: Should I go to shul for awhile every Shabbos before I talk to the rabbi about converting to show that I'm serious? Will I be shunned until they know that I'm serious about it? How long will the conversion take? (I have some prior knowledge because I'm studying Judaic Studies in college, so I know a lot about Judaism and Jewish history). I really want to do this but I've been kind of nervous about how they will react to me and what the rabbi will do, and afraid that I might get tongue tied and unable to convey my message well enough when I talk to them. This community I want to be a part of is very close knit and black hat. Any suggestions you have about how to be less nervous will be appreciated too. [/QUOTE]
