Becoming a Jew is not just a one-time declaration of faith but rather an evolutionary process that culminates in the adoption of a new cultural, national, and even historical identity. Conversion to Judaism requires serious study, active participation in Jewish holidays and lifecycle events, and, finally, a commitment to Jewish practice that is actualized by a rabbinically prescribed ritual.¹ Conversion students are expected to attend each study session. Please see our Education page for session topics.
Conversion classes are offered through the synagogue starting in the fall to those interested in becoming Jewish. The process will be overseen by the Student Rabbi and synagogue conversion coordinator. Study should be completed within two years of starting, although the timeline will vary with the individual.
We charge one year of membership for conversion, even if it takes several years to accomplish.
Membership dues are the same for conversion candidates.
If you are interested in conversion, please contact the synagogue conversion coordinator to discuss the process. Once you are ready to proceed, please fill out and submit this form.
