In other words, when adjustment is required, the law is not adjusted; rather the prospective convert has to adjust his location through a move or frequent travel. This is true in all areas of Judaism. We need to adjust to the Torah; it doesn't adjust to us. *See What is the conversion process? and Why should I choose an Orthodox conversion?
