Long Distance Conversion

Dear Rabbi Ginsburg,


My name is X. Recently I have

discovered that I have some Jewish roots, on both my

maternal and paternal sides. While I was baptized as

an infant neither myself nor my family was

particularly religious. I have always had difficulty

with the concept of the Trinity, the divinity of

Christ, and many other parts of the Christian

theology. Since making this discovery, I have been

doing a lot of research into Judaism and have some to

the conclusion that I may have a Jewish soul. While

surfing the web and searching for more info on Judaism

I came across this site, and began watching your

videos on youtube. This has piqued my interest even

more.


My problem is that I live in rural X, and

the nearest synagogue is  about 250

miles away. That particular reform congregation has

only a student rabbi and doesn't and cannot perform

conversions. I think that you distance learning

program will be a good fit for me since at the present

time I am unable to relocate to an area with a Jewish

community.


Eventually I would like to move back to my original

home Ohio where there is a vibrant Jewish

Community. So if you could please let me know if you

think I would make a good candidate for your long

distance conversion program, and give me any

additional details I may need to know.

Thank you,
