The only synagogue in town doesn't respond on social media or maybe they don't want to respond to me. (I'm thinking of going there in person.)

Hi everyone, I've already made a few posts here and decided 3 years ago that converting to Judaism was the concrete path to follow.

I should mention that I didn't have a rabbi with me because I thought there wasn't a synagogue in the city.

Now, after so much time, I've learned that there's only one synagogue in my city here in Brazil, and it's also of the conservative Sephardic tradition.

Now I'm a little hesitant to go because they have social media accounts but haven't posted since Rosh Hashanah and they don't respond either. I don't think they have a security system or that they're closed off.

But I wanted your help because I'm considering going there in person and trying to get in, but I've seen reports that sometimes they can deny entry.

I'm afraid of seeming hostile in their eyes, so I plan to go after Shavuot, since there will be a long period without holidays on the calendar.

I ended up meeting some people from the Synagogue in real life, but when I tried to explain that I was converting, I think they found me strange or suspicious because of so many coincidences, So I think it's not a good idea to try talking to the members since this might be the rabbi's responsibility, but yes, I couldn't find his email or anything like that.

I need your help on how to go there without looking like a crazy person (just kidding).
