Introduction to Judaism is a free 21-week course of Lappin Foundation in partnership with the North Shore Rabbis and Cantors Association, designed for individuals of faiths other than Judaism who want to explore Judaism or who are considering conversion to Judaism.
For those considering conversion, please note the following:
- Regular attendance is required.
- Upon completion of the course with approval of your sponsoring clergy person, a participant may proceed to a rabbinic court for conversion. Your sponsoring rabbi or cantor will assist you in making the necessary arrangements.
- If applicable, the spouse or partner of the participant who is contemplating conversion is required to take the course.
- Lappin Foundation will fund the cost of immersion in the mikvah (ritual bath) for individuals converting to Judaism who qualify.*
