Welcome to the Teshuvah Conversion Course
The Gateway to Your Jewish Future!
The course begins with an introduction to Judaism called “Navigating Judaism”. Each subsequent section covers a different topic to be learned for the conversion course. When you have finished viewing the Navigating Judaism section, please request an evaluation.
An Entire World
The Talmud tells us that a person who saves one life has saved an entire world. That’s becuase each person has their own unique legacy – the people in their family as well as all the lives they touch. When you become a Jew, you are an entirely new world and the beginning of a new legacy.
