No.

You are right. Jews are one of the few religions that don't seek to convert others to their faith. In fact Hasidic Jews do not recognize that there are at least three other movements in Judaism. They are Reform,Conservative and Orthodox. Each one looks down on the other. I was brought up Reform, lowest of the low-each sect has there own temple-different rules for each one concerning diet and beliefs. So if you want to convert it is discouraged. My husband was Congregational Protestant and my mother's Rabbi barraged us with questions just because her grand parents wanted her to receive a Hebrew name. in their temple. Conversion-who the fuck would want to?

How would I know? The jews I know don't proudly announce to you that they are Hasidic, Orhodox or any other type of jew. That makes me wonder how self conscious they are about their religion. If they had nothing to be self conscious about, surely they wouldn't fear persecution of any type from anybody.

I have always lived in small towns, military bases or in the "burbs", Hasidic Jews don't find us easily.
