Converting to Judaism isn't as simple as it is to convert to Christianity.

It will take years of study and effort.

That aside, the govt of Israel will not "offer" you a chance for a Birthright trip. You have to apply for it and demonstrate you meet the requirements. I don't see why you wouldn't qualify, but the Israeli govt is rather close minded about these things. (EDIT: Someone else in the thread has said Birthright Israel accepts converts explicitly, so you should be good here)

THAT aside, don't go to Israel, don't give them any money. What they're doing right now is absolutely monstrous and it's morally inexcusable to support them.

People aren't machines, if your conversion was genuine and you built up relationships in your local community you'd probably get a chance - but if you show up saying "LOL, I'm technically Jewish. Where's my free vacation" you'll probably not.

There's a surprising amount of freeish stuff out there if you're willing to work for it.

You don’t have to be a full Jew, just Jew ish

Birthright Israel offers trips to converts too, as long as you are in the age limits.

The law of return also allows converts to obtain citizenship.

In both cases you would have to be a practicing member of the community and do all of the necessary steps to officially become a member.

If Sienfeld, King of the Hill and Family Guy are accurate about this (sure they're just TV shows and two are cartoons, but for 3 different things to show the same specific shit there must be some truth), you can't just convert to Judaism overnight. There are things you have to actually do and they require study. Often years of it. It's not like Christianity where you can just say "I believe this now" and have them welcome you as one of their own faith.

So even if getting a trip was as easy as becoming Jewish, becoming Jewish isn't that easy.

Conversion is a long process, made considerably easier since Israel came into existence but still not overnight. So no, not tomorrow. But yes, you could probably do it if you were determined enough, or had the right help: How 90 Peruvians became the latest Jewish settlers

No, they don’t mean Jews religiously. They mean Jewish through heritage, similar to the way many countries do citizenship by birthright rather than birthplace (like the US does). In Hebrew law(?) the birthright is passed down by the mother as prior to genealogy that was a surefire way of proving your parent is who they say they are.

My information is secondhand and any corrections are welcome.

Edit: read below for more accurate information.

The law of return does allow for converts to move to Israel. They do look into your conversion though and if it is a sham they'll decline.

Nope. Whenever you try to convert, this thread WILL pop up which will undoubtedly make your conversion harder (not impossible) but this thread will undoubtedly exclude you from a paid trip.

So like George Santos?
