"Dearer to God than all of the Israelites who stood at Mt. Sinai is the convert." --Tanhuma, Lekh Lekha 6:32.
We welcome your application to come before our Bet Din to join the Jewish people as a precious member.
Apply online or download an application form to complete for mailing or scanning and emailing.
The current Bet Din fee is $360 which does not have to be paid at time of application but is to be paid prior to meeting with the Bet Din.
Your Sponsoring Rabbi will coordinate with you and schedule your Bet Din. Scheduling your Bet Din followed by Mikvah assures you have an appointment at the Community Mikvah. In addition, the Executive Director will forward your application to the Mikvah Administrator who will contact you about preparing for the appointment and paying for it. The AJU Community Mikvah is open for in-person Bet Din meetings followed by a Mikvah appointment. The fee for Mikvah with in-person Bet Din at the Mikvah is $360. If you have an off-site Bet Din, the fee for Mikvah is $300. This fee is separate from the Bet Din and needs to be paid at the time the Mikvah appointment is made. Speak to the Executive Director if these fees pose a barrier to your completing conversion. Payment of fees is not a guarantee of approval to convert. | Contact exec@scbetdin.us if you are having trouble. |
Please confirm that your Sponsoring Rabbi has sent their endorsement form before filling out this application.
