Converting to Judaism is an extraordinary journey – a process of study, growth, self-discovery and participation in the Synagogue and Jewish community.

Temple Emanuel has always been open, welcoming and embracing of “Jews by Choice”.  We piloted the first ever “Introduction to Judaism” course offered in the Reform movement and Rabbi David has been the instructor for these classes since 1979, when Reform Jewish Outreach was launched.  Well over a thousand students have studied at Temple Emanuel, alone, and as a result many of our members are “Jews by Choice”.

We are honored by our converts for they bring to us more than sheer numbers, but also an enthusiasm, a passion, a quest for learning and doing and growing in their Judaism.  In a very real way, we all need to become “Jews by Choice”, choosing a vibrant and vital Judaism for ourselves and our children.
