Hola buenas. Estaba buscando lugares de comida exótica, que no sea asiática general ni mexicana

Hi everyone,

I’m a 15yo from Argentina and I’ve been seriously drawn to Judaism for a while now. I was raised Christian, and my entire family/friend circle is Christian, so I’m pretty much alone in this.

My issue is that converting here seems impossible. From what I’ve researched, Orthodox conversion is basically not done in Argentina right now, and I don’t have the means to move abroad.

So I have two questions:

1. *What Jewish practices are OK for a non-Jew to do?* I want to connect with the religion and learn, but I don’t want to be disrespectful or overstep. Can I light Shabbat candles, read Torah, follow kosher basics, etc?
2. *Has anyone dealt with converting from Christianity with zero Jewish community around?* I feel pretty isolated. My family doesn’t get it and I have no one to talk to about this.

I’m not doing this for a trend or anything. It’s a genuine spiritual thing that’s been on my mind for months. I just don’t know where to start when the doors seem closed in my country.

Thanks for reading. Any advice or reading recs would mean a lot.
