4. INCORPORATE JUDAISM INTO YOUR DAILY LIFE
As you embark on your quest for Judaic knowledge, the rabbi will ask you to start implementing some of the Jewish practices in your home, such as keeping kosher, so be prepared to make a full-fledged commitment. Judaism is not interested in active recruitment or garnering "paper" members. Rather, it only embraces those who embrace Judaism with an open heart. And throughout this whole process, the rabbi will constantly talk to you about how you feel, assessing your commitment to and knowledge of Judaism. Now don't get freaked if you think this all sounds like a lot of effort. It IS a lot, but it's also partly a test of persistence to make sure that you really are interested in the religion, and if you really want to convert, you should find the stuff engrossingly interesting. If you find yourself falling asleep in every lecture, or dying of boredom reading every book, try hooking up with a different religion.
