I wanna Convert to Judaism in Bangalore, India?

Shalom!

My name is Deepak & I come from hindu family background. I came to read bible through christian schools, although I was highly attracted to bible & true G-D for splitting of the red sea for the deliverance of Yis-Rael.

Instinctively I never liked to give any importance to other NT stuffs. But later I came to learn much about G-D[HaShem] and I have decided that this is the right religion.

I want to become the part of the tribe/religion/family.

You may say that be Bene Noach(Son of Noah) & follow the Noachide Laws[7 laws]. But I feel more drawn towards main stream Judaism.

Although my city as no synagogue there happens to be a local chabad[which I assume is for local/tourists to keep kosher] but I am refused repeatedly when I contact them[to seek help] on their www.chabad.org[where I got the mobile no of Rav:Tzvi Rikkin the chief of that particular chabad].

I am learning Hebrew as well.

Please provide me with some alternative options to contact any Jewish friends or Rabbi's in the city

Todah[Thanks] in advance for any good help

    answer: return to the Chabad house again and keep going. Be honest, tell them you wish to learn more, that you feel called to Judaism. Even if you are refused "conversion" immediately, keep going back. It takes at least 2 yrs to convert to Orthodox Judaism, my friend. Be persistent.

    ignore those uninformed answers that state you can't convert or that you wouldn't be accepted, they are obviously NOT Jewish and haven't a clue.

    OK, I can get you information, but why convert? Learn the Noahide laws, and live simply with the 7 laws. Why take on 613?

    He may not be contacting you because we discourage converts. If you are serious, learn more and keep trying. You may have to move, as some Rabbi's don't "do" conversions.

    Hatzlocha Rabbah. By the way, it is Shabbos there - why are you on line if it is Shabbos?

    Normally you can not as they believe that Judaism is only for Israelites/Jews.
