Dear Bintel, can a man convert to Judaism without being circumcised?

In the latest edition of the Forward’s historic advice column, we received this letter:

Dear Bintel,

I love Judaism and Jewish culture. I would love to convert and be a part of the tribe, but I don’t intend to undergo circumcision, and I don’t want it for my future children, either. My family — at least recently, I don’t know about earlier, maybe, but who knows? — isn’t Jewish.

What should I do? What can I do? I would love for an answer or somebody to ask if possible. I’ve wondered about this for years. I live in Sicily.

Signed,
Anything But That
