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.– Harel13Mar 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.– DonielFMar 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.– sabbahillelMar 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.
