Converting to Judaism in Israel and Perform Aliyah from Indonesia?
I'm considering to convert to Judaism since 2 years ago, and it seems like kind of difficult to found some links that could help me to do it. I'm also planned to make an Aliyah if my conversion process done, but once again I got obstacles to got any consultation about it. I'm Indonesian citizen and the Jewish community in here were act so clandestine and exclusive which made me hard to found any information. I want to perform it in Israel so that my conversions will be recognized by the Bet Din of Israel. I'm a first year university student and planned to perform conversions before graduate and perform Aliyah after graduate. What should I do first before take an action?

How about finding a spiritual organization in Israel that can help you? Perhaps the university in Israel has connections to a spiritual leader that can help you meet the requirements. Or you could find a temple web site online in Israel that might help. In the US, there's the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City that could be a great resource for you.

If you're serious about conversion - there was an article recently in the Mishpacha Magazine - http://www.mishpacha.com/Browse/Article/1169/Law-Of-The-Jungle - about an Indonesian of Jewish descent seeking to reclaim his heritage and bringing in other Jewish individuals. His name is Yaakov Baruch or Tauro Palilingan who lives in Manado on the island of North Sulawesi. He has learned with Rabbi Mordechai Abergel in Singapore. You might try looking up Yaakov Baruch or . contacting Mishpacha Magazine and ask if they can put you in contact with him. I found this Jewish website that might be helpful - http://www.halakhicconversion.org. - they are based in the U.S. but they have relevant information and perhaps you can contact them for further guidance. To find out more about Judaism www.aish.com might be a good place to start. Hope this helps.
