Jewish Conversion Qs

I am at the point where I think Judaism is what is right for me, ( I would follow reform ).
But the nearest jewish reform community to me is roughly 1.5 - 2 Hours away.
Would I be a able to convert, given this circumstance. ( I would be committed and fully concentrated ).
Many Thanks.

Hello and welcome to RF.
There is a reform rabbi here, @RabbiO , who will probably answer you after Shabbat has gone out.

If you wanted to be part of an Orthodox community then you would have to move. I don't know about Reform Judaism.

You might wish to *read The Importance of the Community (Kehilla) in Judaism and then, if still interest, seek to initiate a dialogue the nearest (Reform) rabbi.

* I would also recommend reading Jewish Literacy.

L'shalom ...

Well that would be a long drive. If it was Orthodox the answer would be no. But why not just give them a call and meet them?

You should speak with the rabbi and ideally meet with the rabbi in person. As long as you're going to do that, I'm simply going to wish you well on your journey, wherever it takes you.

If you're not going to speak with the rabbi, the we'll need to have a conversation.
