My rabbi feels like I'm ready to officially convert to Judaism so we're at the stage of picking mikveh dates. I feel ready too! Since I'm getting my MBA in May, I'm aiming for becoming a Jew in April.
What is left for me to do, once a date is chosen, is to go before a beit din for a Q&A then go through a ritual immersion (mikveh). I immerse three times and each time I say a Hebrew prayer. I will have a female witness and the rabbis stay outside. My Hebrew name will be Miriam. After that ceremony, my rabbi told me that sometimes there is some kind of welcoming celebration at the temple. I'm still trying to figure out if I want that and if I do, what kind of celebration.
