[QUOTE="BenBai, post: 2371575, member: 818039"] I'm preparing to undergo a conversion to Judaism. Personally, I feel Reform would be my way to go because I'm not very religious. However, when I think about how in Reform synagogues men and women sit together and its only optional to wear a kippah or circumcise men, this kind of strikes me. I feel like those things are important to me as of being a Jew, and I feel I wouldn't feel complete without them. Even thought Conservative seems more religious, which is not too appealing to me, it also seems more real in my opinion. here are some other questions I have: 1) If I convert to Conservative, will I be required to dress in a Jewish fashion? 2) Is it crucial for me then to attend synagogue few times a week ( i dont have a car at the moment and that could be a problem) 3.) Is the reform movement recognized by the state of Israel? Thank you :) p.s. any comments that seem antisemitic or trying to convince me to turn to islam or other religion will be openly ignored. :) [/QUOTE]
