Judaism and Supplemental Material

[Rival]

Well that's how the orthodox view it. Paying for a conversion seems out of the ordinary based on what I read considering religious books are available for free online that you can read etc

I'm not aware of any way to convert to any form of Judaism online, but I could be wrong.

Someone earlier posted about it but it included paying.

So there are no Reform Jews here?

I don't anything about the Reform Movement in Sweden. You will have to find them through google or something. Maybe call the rabbis from the links I provided you and they may be able to direct you to someone who is Reform in Sweden.

 

[Ehav4Ever]

Oh, okay. I just wished I could do it online and at home anonymously, I'll only practice it at home either way

No one on this forum can help you with that. You will have to find your own way with that. Maybe someone who is Jewish in Sweden can help you find an online program for something that meets your needs.

Here. Contact the following. They can do way more than anyone on this forum. I found the following using Google. Just type of Jews in Sweden and call whoever you find and discuss it with them. Everything that I just found is something you can find on Goolge. There is nothing else that anyone on this forum can do for you on this topic.

Sweden - jewish heritage, history, synagogues, museums, areas and sites to visit

Contacting the World Jewish Congress sounds like good advice, but advice that will prove fruitless.

Furthermore, I expect any synagogue (a) with international affiliations and (b) resembling something akin to Conservative and Reform congregations in the U.S. will be affiliate with the World Union for Progressive Judaism.

 

[Swede01]

Thanks for the info pal

You could be right. Obviously, the answers to his questions aren't going to be found on this forum. If anything him doing some google searching and making some phone calls will bare more fruit than we can provide. In any case, these are all better options than a back and forth on a forum.

Yes but due to privacy I don't want to contact them. I would rather just convert at home and observe the traditions instead

Okay. So, there is nothing more I can suggest. Good luck on your journey.

If you need any help, that is something I can assist you with.

Noahidism seems more easier to become a part of right?

Yes, for the situation you described the 7 mitzvoth/Noachide laws would be easier for you to keep. You can also remain within your cultural/national structure w/o having to seperate from it.

Yeah but long term I plan to convert though

You can eat pig.

You can't eat living things.

Noachides can eat pork. As long as it is slaughtered in some way first.

I'm curious about something. What about an animal's blood?

3Every moving thing that lives shall be yours to eat; like the green vegetation, I have given you everything. גכָּל־רֶ֨מֶשׂ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הוּא־חַ֔י לָכֶ֥ם יִֽהְיֶ֖ה לְאָכְלָ֑ה כְּיֶ֣רֶק עֵ֔שֶׂב נָתַ֥תִּי לָכֶ֖ם אֶת־כֹּֽל:
4But, flesh with its soul, its blood, you shall not eat. דאַךְ־בָּשָׂ֕ר בְּנַפְשׁ֥וֹ דָמ֖וֹ לֹ֥א תֹאכֵֽלוּ:
