The program is intended for Jews and non-Jews in North County, to gain a better understanding of Judaism. This class is for students who want to convert to Judaism or those who would like to gain deeper insight into the basics of Jewish life, language and history.

Through the twice a month sessions, the group will study basic phrases and blessings and become comfortable with being in the Synagogue or Jewish home, and be able to participate and understand what is going on.

We will look at the observance of all holidays, Shabbat, the Jewish calendar, the Jewish people, history and bible, raising children, Judaism and Christianity, and develop love and support for Israel. We will also discuss what conversion really is, how to prepare for it and how it affects our Synagogue and community.

We will prepare those who wish to convert for Ba’it Din (questioning the potential convert), and Mikvah (spiritual immersion), and a ‘Certificate of Conversion’ will be given to those who successfully complete the course, Ba’it Din and Mikvah.
