Well, first of all, I would suggest doing a lot of research before making that decision. It sounds as though you already have done research, but a site you might want to check out is aish.com. It is mainly geared towards people who want to convert or who are Jewish and do not know much about their religion. (There is also a great Kabbalah section :P)

Next, you should realize that Judasim is more than a belief, it is a way of life. There are changes to your everyday life when you decide to become an Orthodox Jew. (I don't know what branch of Judaism you are in interested in, there are many different ones.)

If you decide that you really want to do this, it is a long process. Usually it takes at least a year or more to go through the entire converstion process. It involves learning the Laws and the Torah, and ends with imnersion in a mikva, or a ritual bath, but you'd learn more about that before you do it. You should research synogogues in your are (if you live in the US, I may be able to help you find one) and talk to the rabbi there.

thank you soo much for you advice. It really did help, I i'm going to check out that site tonight.
