    Judaism is considered to be a closed religion, in which it is pretty hard to get it, not like Christianity or Islam that within a process of few minutes you can convert. This is due to cultural-historical aspects of Jewish life, in the sense that there is a uniqueness to Jewish life and culture and it is not suitable for everyone.

    Moreover, Jews are not just a part of the Jewish religion but a part of the Jewish ethnicity. Jews are an ethnoreligious group, and therefore it is difficult to convert yourself to another ethnicity - it is possible, but it is a long process and not an easy one.

    Because they've forgotten that that's part of their calling as a nation.

    No, because they want serious, intelligent, dedicated members. Quality over quantity.

    Ever hear the Jews referred to as "God's Chosen people"?

    If God had chosen YOU to be a Jew, you would ALREADY be a Jew.

    Anyway, FEELINGS are not FACTS.

    You may FEEL that some God or Goddess loves you, and you may feel that you love them.

    But, as the case of Manti Te'o shows, a person can feel DEEPLY about a person who never existed.

    There race is Hebrew. They do not seek converts because they think that they are the chosen people of God all other races are dogs to them and are not worthy to be Jews. Jewish is the name of the religion i think. Thanks for the question friend God bless.

    The people of the Jewish Faith are not a race.

    They are their own religious sect, and they follow Judaism.

    The Jews are not desperate enough to need converts. Hence, they do not seek them.

    Only Christians and Hare Krishnas seek to convert people.
