Editing Conversion to Judaism (section)

==Karaite views==
As of 2006, the ''Moetzet Hakhamim'' (Council of Sages) began to accept converts to [[Karaite Judaism]] through the [[Karaite Jewish University]]. The process requires one year of learning, circumcision (for males), and the taking of the vow that Ruth took:

<blockquote>
{{rtl-para|hbo|{{Script/Hebrew|
כִּי אֶל-אֲשֶׁר תֵּלְכִי אֵלֵךְ, וּבַאֲשֶׁר תָּלִינִי אָלִין—עַמֵּךְ עַמִּי, וֵאלֹהַיִךְ אֱלֹהָי. בַּאֲשֶׁר תָּמוּתִי אָמוּת, וְשָׁם אֶקָּבֵר; כֹּה יַעֲשֶׂה יְהוָה לִי, וְכֹה יוֹסִיף—כִּי הַמָּוֶת, יַפְרִיד בֵּינִי וּבֵינֵךְ.}}}}"For whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God; where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried; the {{Sc|L|ORD}} do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me." {{bibleverse|Ruth|1:16-17|HE}}
