Torah and Jewish Idea > Torah and Jewish Idea
Is a conversion appropriate in this circumstance?

I'm an 18 year old male. Like I mentioned in my earlier posts my father is halachically Jewish since his mother was jewish but she converted to Catholicism. Some people at my school are Jewish and I sometimes speak to them but I have a feelin they're not really religious.On the other hand my sister studied Hebrew and Politics so a lot of her friends are Jewish.
I have heard about Madonna and her mad escapades. Coorect me if I'm wrong but is kabbalah only a small part of the yeshiva lifestlye anyway? So, my main focus must be on judaism as a whole.

Yes, Kabbalah is an in depth study, after you have learned and live a Torah life... And a lot of the fakes look at kabbalah as way to gain more in their own selfish ways, they don't care about HaShem, they care about themselves! They might as well study witchcraft!

That seems like a quite a wise thing to do to prevent people from deviating and focusing on smaller matters.

Are people really that opportunistic when it comes to matters of G-d and religion?

Heck yeah! Look at all the people that get rich from teaching and preaching their own version of the Bible... THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT G-D THEY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES!
