Conversion
“Beloved is the convert before God more than the multitudes that stood at Mt. Sinai” - Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, Tanhuma Lekh Lekha 6
Rabbi Russo happily meets with conversion students to accompany them on their journey into Judaism. In conjunction with an Introduction to Judaism class, conversion candidates explore and reflect on the formation of their Jewish identity with our rabbi.
Anyone who is interested in exploring Judaism or has questions about the Jewish faith is encouraged to visit our synagogue and to meet our clergy.
