List of converts to Judaism

As Judaism is not an actively proselytizing religion, conversion is a relatively uncommon occurrence. This article endeavours to list some notable people who have converted, or are believed to have converted, to Judaism. The article does not differentiate between the different branches of Judaism, but doesn't list people who married a Jewish spouse without converting. Still, these conversions (except for the Biblical ones) are not recognized by the Orthodox Jewish division because the converted did not undertake to follow the rules of halacha.

(A number of prominent figures, such as Madonna, have recently become followers of Kabbalah, a body of Jewish mystical teaching, but do not consider themselves – and are not considered – Jewish.)
