Becoming Jewish is an online information source for those considering conversion to Judaism, in the process of converting, ba'al teshuva (returnees to Judasim), Righteous Gentiles (B'nei Noach), and anyone interested in learning about Judaism.
The information in this site is written predominantly from an Orthodox/traditional perspective. Be aware however, that many Jews do not follow all of these traditions, or precisely how they are described here. On some pages, I have identified variations in practice or belief in the Orthodox and non-Orthodox movements.
