Christians were not permitted to convert to Judaism. In fact, when Hebrew
books about Jewish relgious law were printed in Russia, the rabbis were
always careful to add in the sections dealing with proselytes, "those
regulations apply to those countries only in which the law of the State
permits conversion."
