| | There are a number of issues with conversion between the different movements of Judaism. Some of the movements don't accept converts from other movements. Others only accept converts from other movements if certain things were part of the conversion. Below is an attempt to discuss the differences and explain why it is the way it is. Orthodox conversionsRequirements- 1-4 years of studying
- Becoming shomer mitzvot - specifically observing:
- Accept that the oral and written torah - biblical and rabbinic is binding on all Jews
- Kashrut in and out of the house
- Shabbat totally observant including but not limited to no cooking, driving, or using/changing electricity
- Tefillin and daily 3 times prayer for men
- Tznius in dress for women
- Intent to marry an observant Jew
- Intent to practice family purity/taharat hamispacha after marriage
- Commitment to raise Jewish children (frequently required to agree to full-time religious school and not public schooling)
- Beit din made up of 3 shomer mitzvot Jews
- Mikvah
- Brit Milah/Circumcision or hatafat dam brit (ritually taking a drop of blood) for men already circumcised
