Editing Conversion to Judaism (section)

==Maturity==
Someone who converts as a minor (younger than 12 for a girl and 13 for a boy) is required to fulfill the requirements of conversion, that is circumcision and mikvah, but are not required to perform an 'acceptance of the mitzvoth'. The conversion instead is done ''al daat beth din'', i.e. the acceptance is done by the Beth Din presiding over the conversion.
The child lives as a Jew until they're [[Bar and bat mitzvah|bar/bat mitzvah]] and they then have the option of rejecting their conversion. Once they have accepted to continue as a Jew the conversion can no longer be rejected.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.convert.org/Converting_Infants.html |title=Converting Infants and Children to Judaism: A Guide for Parents |website=Conversion to Judaism Resource Center |access-date=2012-07-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130207162047/http://www.convert.org/Converting_Infants.html |archive-date=2013-02-07 |url-status=usurped}}</ref>
