The Halakhic Process of Conversion to Judaism

The Irreversible Status of Jewish Conversion
Jewish legal sources establish that conversion to Judaism creates an indelible status that cannot be revoked or undone. Even if a convert subsequently commits apostasy or idol worship, they retain their Jewish identity and legal standing, being classified as a Jewish apostate rather than reverting to non-Jewish status.
