As someone that is the child of a convert in the orthodox Jewish community, I would advise you to think critically before you commit to converting. Although my mother made the right decision for herself, I can see that she struggled with culture shock. There are many wonderful people in our community, but there will be those that judge you because of your status. Depending on what type of community you see yourself in, you and your children can experience prejudice. When I was younger, I didn’t get into a judgmental type of school most probably because of my mother’s background. If you’re familiar at all with the way most orthodox Jews get married, know that some people may not want to date your children because of where you come from.
In no way is this post intended to put down the orthodox Jewish community. I’d like to reiterate that there are so many amazing people within it, and the bulk of them will admire you for your conversion. However, I do want you to know that once you convert, that doesn’t necessarily translate into unconditional acceptance from everyone.
