Conversion Group

The Temple Emanu-El Conversion Group meets quarterly with either Rabbi Samuel M. Cohon or Rabbi Jason Holtz.  These meetings are suitable for those who are already in the conversion process, those who are considering conversion, and those who are interesting in learning more about conversion to Judaism and what it means to be Jewish.  At the meetings, we discuss the conversion process, talk about any individual issues that have come up in the course of Jewish study or practice, and discuss any questions that come up. We also cover a topic about living Jewishly, such as adapting new traditions for holidays coming up, making kosher relevant and meaningful, fostering a relationship with Israel, and many more.  These Conversion Group meetings are not a substitute for Basic Judaism or for individual meetings with the Rabbis, but an addition resource to help with the conversion process.
