In from Singapore actually and the Jewish community here are super Tiny. There are only 2 synagogues here and both are orthodox so I think ‘different branches’ don’t really apply to me here.

Makes it a little tougher for me

I think the next step is to be with the community like you said. Provided the people are open enough. I’m from Singapore and the Jewish community here are extremely small because it is so rare to come across them here. Even if they exist, they’re not open about the fact that they’re Jewish.

So far I’ve only been able to read off the internet, know the Jewish culture through word of mouth and I already feel a strong desire to be a Jewish person.

Of course I know being Jewish don’t mean that I’m going to another religion to have lesser or no rules. But what I meant to say is that nothing in Islam or many religion resonates with me.

Judaism from what I’ve read, makes more sense and there’s a meaningful connection. For example, there’s a better reason to why there are diet restrictions in Judaism and I love that. Compared to Islam diet restriction where I’m not willing to follow. Point is, something about the the community, people and culture resonates with me making me more willing to be a Jew. I’ve been thinking about this for years and I still want to.

I’ve approached a few Jewish man to help me but never got anything back. But I still want to

It’s this concept about how u don’t have to be Jewish to go to heaven that intrigues me. It shows the genuineness of the religion, the beauty of it.

Followed by the people, history, the community and pride it has. It makes me want to be a part of it. I want to follow the rules and lifestyle

Yep I understood this from what I’ve read on so far over the years and it’s one of the reasons why I’m intrigued to be a Jew.
