Well. First, thanks for the art mate, is great I am going to put in my profile. Second, ok you wanto to convert to judaism (I really do no if is possible to convert by internet, probably yes but believe in me it will be a more difficult procedure than traditional, and from what i understand some time you will need to go to a synagogue), convert to judaism is a big step, first i suggest to you search about jewish history, laws and more. Find out where you are going, and determine why you want it. Be aware that Judaism is a major commitment that will affect every part of your life. Judaism is based on commandments and thirteen principles. They should be your first step to be taken and the foundation in his Jewish faith. Other important thing is talk with your family this is usally be a controversial subject with some families, so be sure to explain your reasons and wants to become a jew. Make sure you are comfortable with your decision to leave your present religion. This is a very important thing, choose your branch, there are 3 branches of Judaism, all with different levels of stiffness and rituals, Orthodox, Conservatives and Reformes. After this if you're right, you need to go a synagogue talk with a rabbi (you live in Istanbul no, I now some synagogues in turkey, you can search in internet, i now have, it might be a bit far from where you live), be prepared for the rabbi try to deter or fend him. Many rabbis consider these actions as part of their work. Their goal is not to prevent honest people try to convert, but to test their commitment, and be sure to become a jew is really what he or she wants. If you are persistent, show that you know where you are going and still is committed to convert, so the rabbi may decide to start you on the path to conversion. Unlike many religions to convert to Judaism is not quick or easy. You will need to spend at least a year, sometimes two or more studying (many organizations offer classes at night) and living a jewish life before his conversion is finished. Your studies will cover the basics of history and jewish culture, and you will also get some instructions on the hebrew language. At the end of your studies, you will need to pass a test to determine how much learned. You will also be asked before a Jewish cut (called Beit Din, which consists of three authorities) on adherence to Halacha as part of the conversion procedures. If you went through all the steps, a conversion ceremony will be marked. It will involve a ritual bath as total immersion of the body in a Mikveh.

As you can see it is not easy to convert to Judaism is something you really have to want a lot and be willing. If you become the orthodox and conservative strands will have to go through a circusicao. Be prepared for antisemitism. The world become more tolerant with jews, but there are still many stupied groups around the world who feel hatred for jews. Your family, friends and people you know can try to prevent you or have negative attitudes about their conversion. While this situation is no reason not to convert, you should prepare for this.
