Finding a Qualified Orthodox Beit Din for Jewish Conversion
Question
I want to convert to Orthodox Judaism. A DNA test shows Sephardic Jewish roots, but I have no documents to prove Jewish ancestry, and the Jewish community in Abu Dhabi does not do conversions. In this situation, how can I find a qualified Orthodox rabbi or beit din to guide and supervise a proper conversion process?
Answer
Thank you for your question.
You can try contacting the Orthodox Rabbanut here in Israel, and they will be able to advise you on how to proceed further.
They can be found under:

Wishing you much success.
