Converting to Judaism

would i have to get circumcised?

are you even allowed to become an adherent to Judaism if you're not Jewish?



  • yes you would, and yes you are allowed

    i considered it once, but i grew out of it.

  • did those Why? boys get to you?

    • I didn't leave a hat in your car last night

      did I?

      If not, I left it at The Fav :(

      • I'll check tonight?

        t'missus took that car to work today. I cycled like the ECO-WARRIOR that I am.

        • Cheers man

          I've got a feeling it's on the floor in The Fav

          Catriona's going to kill me, she bought that for me for Christmas :'(

          • well we can just keep it between

            us. No need to post it on any public web forums or anything.

        • I mean "I'll check tonight"

          without the question mark.

  • What does the second question even mean?

    You just broke my head.

    • he's using 'Jewish' there

      in place of 'Semite' I think.

    • if you're not racially Jewish i mean

      • that's what I thought you meant

        but it seemed like such a daft question I thought there must be a facet to it that I wasn't quite grasping. No offence.

      • ...

        The whole point of converting is that you're not Jewish beforehand. Racially or otherwise.

        Bear in mind, if we're going to go down the road of what constitutes ethnic Judaism, it might get ugly.

        I'd suggest just cutting to the song.

        • Agreed

          but only if the song is "Hava Nagila".

  • i'm up for this

    • circumcising me?

      • only if you do me too

        • i'll see you next week with the unsterlised knife

          can i sew it up at the same time?

          • :S

            FGC sounds like the worst thing ever. in the museum of religious life and art in glasgow, there's a photgraph of a girl being circumcised and it's awful. it's really common as well.

  • Did you watch that programme on Jews last night?

    I watched it too and now I want to convert to Judaism.

  • also

    would I still get to have a Bar Mitzvah, despite being too old for it?

    • you would

      but it would just be a rabbi noogying you for three and a half hours.

    • No

      But you'd have to become a stand up comedian

      Are you funny enough to be a Jew?

      • being a Jew is intrisically funny

        with their comedy noses and strange eating habits, lolzo!

        • do you think they give you a jewish nose

          when you convert

  • Im sure that you could get this done without

    converting to Judaism, if thats what you really want

  • if you want to convert to a religon, convert to sikhism

    thats where its at

    • are they the ones who worship all the cool animal gods
