Alright so, I am a non-Jew, but I would like to become a Jew.
I live in England (East-Midlands), and, in the town where I live there are no Synagogues. There are two in the same county as me, but they are a long way away, and I don't drive.
I have contacted people at both synagogues, asking them about how I can become a Jew, and they both say that I must do a year long course and attend services and such, before I can become a Jew. One said that I can attend services via Zoom.
Another problem I have is that I have a severe mental illness, and I struggle to concentrate - so I am sceptical that I could complete a year-long course anyway.
I just wanted to make this thread to ask: are there any quicker ways to become a Jew? Like, maybe there are some shorter online courses which have a real-life swimming pool baptism at the end or something?
I just feel a little lost.
To anyone who gives me a helpful reply, thanks in advance.
