Once the period of study under the rabbi is completed, one is taken to a religious court where at least three Jews, and at least one of whom is a rabbi, and they decide whether the individual has fulfilled the requirements of study, sincerity, and living a Jewish lifestyle while immersing onself in the Jewish community.

In the event that a male is already circumcised, a symbolic circumcision occurs when a drop of blood is drawn from the circumcised area.
