Conversion at Temple Israel

Conversion TO Judaism at Temple Israel


Converting to Judaism is a process that requires dedication and commitment to learning, participating actively in the life of the Jewish community, and engaging in synagogue life. While the journeys of all gerim (converts) are different, we've created a guide to conversion that lays out the basic goals and requirements for converting to Judaism at Congregation Temple Israel.
