Postmodernity means the exhilarating freedom to pursue anything, yet mind-boggling uncertainty as to what is worth pursuing and in the name of what one should pursue it.

I'm a convert and no offense but I'd like to see more jewish thought in here and less running circles with countfosco.

EDIT: also if you want to ask me about being a convert feel free. I'm reform technically but I tend to lean more towards conservative in practice. Before you ask, I was circumcised as a baby gentile. The hardest part is explaining kosher to my family, but since I eat a lot like a vegan anyway it's not a huge stretch to just refuse meat or dairy at holidays/restaurants.

Would you consider doing an orthodox conversion to doubledown on being a "real Jew"/"halakhically Jewish" if it were demanded by the family of a potential spouse, so that your children would be considered Jewish by most streams and communities. :yum:

That's not just a conversion issue, a lot of orthodox don't really see reform Judaism as "valid" converted or not.

but yeah the only time I can see a family demanding orthodox conversion is if that family is orthodox themselves. most conservative or reform families are not going to care about being accepted by the hasidic communities

Hasidim are haredim, not just orthodox. Modern Orthodox communities that can also be surprisingly bad about the inclusion of converts and the children of people that did not complete orthodox conversions.

Please also never forget that Chabad are ultra-orthodox.
