Some take our course and convert locally and others convert with us.
- Authentic, genuine conversion: Our dozen Rabbis who rotate on the beit din were ordained from universally recognized real Seminaries, not online seminaries like many programs.
- Conversion learning based on a conversion program developed over 35 years, plus our unique, award winning educational videos, plus readings and mentoring.
- Study at your own pace. Communicate with our Rabbis as often as you like via skype email, phone.
- Convert with: a. our kosher mikveh, and our beit din, or b. take our course as prerequisite to convert with your local Rabbi, or c. we make provisions if you can't travel and have no local rabbi to convert you so no travel required for this option.
- We have hundreds of converts who participate actively all over the world.
We are delighted you are considering conversion to Judaism. You can study for your conversion to Judaism with our Gold medal awarded 12 topic online course, utilizing our unique videos (more than 2,500,000 views so far), personal mentoring, and carefully selected readings. The advantage of our unique program is that even as a distance learner, you’ll learn directly with your teachers via video and as desired, by phone, email, skype, as well as revisit each lesson for refreshers as desired. While the course is a great preparation for fundamental Jewish knowledge, students tell us it is easy to navigate and makes learning enjoyable. Hundreds of our graduates participate actively all over the world. We have been helping converts make this journey for decades.
This curriculum has been used to teach thousands of converts and college students, over 35 years. What is new and unique is that, in lieu of live lectures, since you are doing this as a distance learner, we broke the lectures up into small bite size videos of learning. We put related ones together on blogs or dvds and you watch them + your readings to learn. People have loved learning this way. You learn at your own pace.
Whether you are single, in a relationship, married to a Jew or non-Jew, or a family wishing to convert, we can help. Unlike most Conservative and all Orthodox, we'll convert you even if you have non-Jewish spouse (as long as they are supportive).
