I am interested in the faith of Judaism. I am curious about being “informally Jewish”. This is because I am interested in this religion because of its history and willingness to be open. I am not willing to be completely kosher (I mean this in the sense of not eating pork), but I want to call myself Jewish and be a Jew. Is that sufficient?

4If you're not interesting in keeping all of Judaism, perhaps you would be interested in Noahidism - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noahidism, myjewishlearning.com/article/the-modern-noahide-movement, etc. – Harel13 Mar 22 '20 at 21:44

@Heshy No - this is asking on the conversion process. Do we have a question about what counts for conversion? Because that thread doesn’t seem to address that. – DonielF Mar 23 '20 at 2:46

The answer to this question is definitely no. See First steps for someone considering conversion Look up the Rabbinical Council of America if you are really interested in conversion. – sabbahillel Mar 23 '20 at 13:42

No. It is not sufficient to simply call yourself a Jew without certain procedures. You must undergo a conversion practice as explained by the rabbis. However, you can remain a non-Jew by being a Noahide and keeping the Seven Laws of Noah Commandments. However, if a gentile converts, he keeps the same Torah as a Jew. Thus, whether Jew or gentile; all people are created equal.
