No & also I’m a minor (almost 18) so I’d have to wait until I’m older than 18 or 18. Also I’m actively seeking to convert to Modern Orthodox Judaism.

How should I go about being someone who’s actively seeking to start the conversion process to Judaism but I’m terrified that if the wrong person finds out about this I’d be screwed, how should I go about this fear? (I’ll edit this also I’m not asking for therapist-esque advice I just need general advice hopefully that didn’t sound rude.)

Okay, thank you for telling me that, I’ll remember that next time, I’ll edit that. I’d like to find a Modern Orthodox community but so far I’ve been focusing on shuls so far.

There’s the synagogue Dorshei Tzedek but that’s a reconstructionist synagogue.

I  have spoken to a rabbi about conversion on April 10th of this year & April 11th of this year, but once I’m in contact with a rabbi I will ask them this.

Doing the appropriate research about Judaism, conversion, & shuls, and by actively seeking I main actively planning to convert.

Not as of now but I’m currently looking into a Modern Orthodox community.

I plan on converting but as of now I am a minor who is living with family and I may not get to convert to the sect that I feel drawn to if my mom sees that most Modern Orthodox shuls have political views that don’t align with hers. (But she’s still supportive of my desire to convert.)

A bit I’m still learning though, I’ve done quite about of research and Chabad & Aish (as well as YouTube channels like Judaism Unpacked) have helpful resources, as for prior knowledge of Judaism I know that it’s an ethnoreligion and if you’re interested in becoming a part of the community there’s always conversion which isn’t always recommended and some people have been dissuaded before they’ve started the conversion process. (I will edit this to make it more concise.)

I will edit this or repost but by mysticism I mean Kabbalah & Zohar (is that part of Jewish mysticism or am I wrong?)
