Conversion
We welcome all those seeking Judaism to meet with our clergy to discuss your spiritual journey. The cornerstone of the conversion process revolves around Introduction to Judaism, an 18-week course exploring the fundamentals of living a Reform Jewish life through a variety of learning modalities. Conversion-focused programming includes Adult Education classes and other learning opportunities, special Services, meetings with clergy, and lifecycle-based events. By the end of the process we consider the experience to be more like a naturalization than a conversion, as we celebrate and affirm the Jewish soul that you have and the Jewish life that you have chosen.
