Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my question. Anyways, I'm Jewish, I was raised going to Ashkenazi synagogues, (though occasionally my mother would take me and my brothers to a Sephardi synagogue for the high holidays) and my bat mitzvah was at a conservative synagogue. My brothers and I have recently been researching our genealogy, and in doing this, we found out 3/4 of our ancestry is Sephardic. After some more research, my family (my parents included) decided we want to start practicing Sephardic Judaism. One of my local synagogues has a Sephardic minyan and recently we have been going to that for services. (The minyan is open to everyone). As I've experienced and learned more about Sephardic Judaism I've found I really resigned with it, on top of learning about my Sephardi ancestry. Long story short, I was wondering if there was a conversion process to go through to become Sephardi, and if so, what would that include. Thank you again and chag Pesach sameach :)

Hello! 

In regards to your question, it is ok to follow all of the laws and customs of the Sephardic traditions. No conversions are necessary. 

I hope you enjoy learning about the many Sephardic customs and traditions that exist and if you need any help or have any questions, Sephardic.Org is a great place to learn!
