Long Distance conversion: TOO FAR FROM A RABBI WILLING TO TEACH AND CONVERT YOU?
cONTACT US AT
We also offer an online Jewish Conversion/converting conversion to Judaism program for anyone in the world.
What makes our program special and unique?
a. It follows a traditional Conservative/Masorti curriculm of subjects, readings, and traditonal standards of a Conservative Rabbinic Bet Din set of conversion requirements and documents
b. The Bet Din members who sign the documents are Conservative Rabbis
c. BUT, it is a self study/long distance program based on our unique 550+ videos, cds, dvds. You go at your own pace, asking questions and submitting reports as you procede. It can be even better than a classroom because, you have mentoring, but can go back as many times as you wish to the brief videos for enhanced understanding.
Dear Rabbi
I just wanted to send you and Rabbi Gail a short note to say thank you for your guidance and support over the past six months as we went through the conversion process. I didn't know quite what to expect when I arrived in Chicago, but you all made me feel very welcome and included. It was a very moving experience for me (which is probably why I might get the record for taking the longest time to get dressed and reappear after the immersion). It would be impossible for me to probably convey in words how important the event was to me, and what a positive effect it has had, and I believe, will continue to have on my life.
I think the work you and Rabbi Gail are doing is of inestimable value to many people, and I wish you both all of the best in these endeavours for the future. If there is any small way I can assist now or in the future, please just let me know.
With best wishes
Leon from Australia

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.
