Question

Very basically, my mother converted to Judaism for the wrong intentions, to marry my father. The conversion was done, to my knowledge with the proper guidelines of an orthodox conversion, in front of a Bais Din and Mikveh. I need to know if am I really Jewish? And if not, what do I have to do to become Jewish?

Answer

The Bet Din usually refrains from converting people who have ulterior motives such as marriage - (source: "Code of Jewish Law" Y.D. 268:12). However, once a person is converted by the Bet Din, and there was a serious undertaking to study and observe the Torah, the conversion is valid.

If you feel uncomfortable with the conversion of your mother, the next time you come to Israel, you can present your conversion documents, and the Bet Din would perform a simple and quick procedure, of "Giur L'Chumra."
