I agree with the other posters. You are wasting your time applying to seminaries. They won’t accept you. What you need is a conversion program.

Here is a URL to try: To get it past the mods, I changed http://www.itim to www+itim. Change it back.

You will be considered a foreign citizen attempting to convert to Judaism which means there will be a bunch of hoops to jump through. The five stages are listed over here:

(Similar to URL above, I changed en.ami to en+ami to get the URL past the mods.)

If you succeed in converting, then your conversion teachers will help you find the right seminary.
The whole process usually takes around 2 years. It will be longer with Covid-19 restrictions.

Good Luck!
