Considering Conversion?

Looking to convert to Judaism and live in the Chicago metro area? We have a Chicago based conversion to Judaism program. See personal statements from our recent converts at

 

Our Chicago-based conversion program attracts students from all over the Chicago area: as far away as Joliet and Kenosha, Oak Park, Highland Park, Gurnee, Des Plaines, and Hyde Park. Why?  We offer the best overall program and have a wonderful synagogue.

 

 

Before considering other programs, make sure the Rabbis who convert you are members of the Conservative Rabbinical Assembly of America. Many rabbis who teach conversion are not accredited by the Conservative Rabbinate, and some are not members of any recognized rabbinic body. Rabbi Ginsburg, the head of our bet din/religious tribunal, is a member of the Rabbinical Assembly of America and the Chicago Board of Rabbis.

Good Reasons to Convert

You may be interested in conversion to Judaism for a number of reasons that are all valid.  Here are some reasons that we have recently heard. You may have a similar reason for your interest. Perhaps you can relate to a number of these reasons. There are of course countless other reasons that have led people to embrace Judaism. Your reason is important and meaningful.
  • You are and have been a "spiritual seeker" and Judaism seems to be fulfilling to your spiritual needs.
  • You are married to or are planning to marry a Jew.
  • You revere the Bible and believe in G-d but do not believe in the divinity of Jesus or that he was the messiah.
  • You believe that religion is important and that a person should identify with one. From what you have learned so far Judaism makes the most sense to you.
  • You have always had Jewish friends and enjoyed Jewish holidays and feel very at home with Jews. Perhaps you have jokingly referred to yourself as an "honorary Jew".
  • You have found that as you learn more about Judaism that you already have the same beliefs and viewpoint.
  • You are married to a Jew and have children. You have agreed to raise them to be Jews and now you want to give your family more cohesion and less confusion.
