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

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.
If you convert with our program, your Bet Din and Mikveh immersion take place at

If you want to study the basics of Judaism in a college level, not for credit course, this one is ideal. It is organized in 16 sessions, has readings assigned, videos for lectures, terms to memorize, accompanying values, and a list of terms to learn with videos to help define them. We have Chicago's largest conversion program and have been assisting converts for 25 years.

Dear Rabbi,
My name is X I am currently a double major at X . I study Psychology and Religion. I grew up in a home with my mom's side of the family being Baptist and my dad's family being Lutheran.
I greatly enjoy my studies at University but during my studies here, I feel that G-d has really moved in my life and confirmed feelings that I have had toward Judaism as being Truth.
There are no Synagogues around me and I am greatly interested in conversion. I have been reading over your websites and the other night I got so captivated by your videos I stayed up till 3 in the morning watching some of them.
I am writing to see if you would help me and guide me in the conversion process and my learning till I can get near a Synagogue. I have been circumcised and am currently going through Reshith Binah by Sidney Fish in order to learn to read Hebrew. I've also purchased Rosetta Stone for Hebrew (for my computer)...as well as Pinsler's Hebrew Series (that I listen to in my car) and to add to the Reshith Binah, I was given Biblical Hebrew vocabulary cards.
If there is any guidness or help that you are able to give me it would be of great help and blessing in my life.
Thank you for your time and your wonderful resources that have so richly blessed my life
