Subject: how to become a Reform Jew

Question

Shalom


I am a boy who actually studied many religions including Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc... but Judaism, especially Reform Judaism, attracted me most. I studied Reform Judaism,

I read the Torah
I believe in one God
I believe in the laws, discipline, ethics, etc.


And now, almost all of Judaism, especially Reform, I have studied it


So my question is:

I live in Pakistan, so is it possible for me to become a Reform Jew? Like an online beit din, etc.?


Or anything else?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

We belong to authentic Orthodox Judaism. 

There is no real possibility of converting without a direct meeting with a Jewish beit din (rabbinical court). 

[Although it is certainly possible that, as part of the ongoing distortions of Reform Judaism, they have distorted this clear halacha as well...].
