Exploring Judaism is a program of Jewish learning and experience for those interested in learning more about Judaism as well as pursuing or thinking about conversion. We welcome individuals and couples of all backgrounds wishing to engage with our religious and cultural tradition through the unique Conservative movement perspective that understands Judaism as an ancient tradition based upon Biblical and rabbinic wisdom, evolving and adapting throughout history.
Management of this program is in transition to the Jewish Theological Seminary. If you are interested in being notified about when the next cohort will start, please email conversion@jtsa.edu. |
Exploring Judaism includes a 24 session introduction to Judaism class with a basic Hebrew component along with a series of workshops led by congregational rabbis, visits to New York City Conservative synagogues and other experiences. The program director and class teacher will also be available for counseling and advisement.
