Convert to Judaism

My family is Catholic, apathetically so. They are extremely supportive of my becoming Jewish, driving me to shul, letting me keep kashrut, buying books, letting me study, etc. but the one thing I really want is traditional, observant Jewish spirtiuality. As in, the whole shebang, going to daily services to daven, lighting Shabbat candles, studying Torah, studying Hebrew, etc. I’m just stuck as to how to properly observe Shabbat if no-one in my immediate family/people with whom I live are not Jewish and have no desire to become Jewish. I think proselytising is truly disgusting and lashon ha ra. So, umm…tips? Judaism as a spirtuality is just SO beautiful, inspiring, and fulfilling…I have fallen in love with the steady beat at which I hear the rabbi praying in Hebrew, and have taken his advice and bought a book on learning to read it.

Seeing as I now have reliable transportation, I am now able to go to shul for Shabbat services on a weekly basis and Torah study. I went for Purim services last night, and Shabbat service tonight—and am going to Torah study and Saturday services tomorrow. The members made me feel very welcome and it was so spiritually inspiring, the Hebrew I do know. The Torah discussion tonight, shorter without a minyan, was stimulating. I truly feel as if this is the way for me to build a more personal relationship with G-d. I am going to a Conservative shul, Ohav Shalom, and the rabbi has given me book names. The rabbi is also incredibly polite and helpful. Really, it is a great experience.

Shabbat Shalom to all!

As I’ve always been very humanistic, I’ve found that Judaism, especially of the humanistic variety, is very appealing. I shape my life as much as possible to be in sync with the Torah and Jewish law.

EDIT: Stuck on “which” Judaism is right for me. As I believe in G-d and as I analyse the Torah, I do see that He intervenes, especially to protect His chosen people. I wish there was some checklist to compare beliefs with branches of Judaism…
