Conversion

Rabbi Weiss is ready and happy to guide those seeking a path into Judaism through conversion. Temple Har Zion participates, together with all of the other Reform congregations in the Greater Toronto Area, in the Introduction to Jewish Life (IJL) run by the Reform movement.

Through IJL, potential Jews-by-Choice have the opportunity to learn about Jewish history, culture, beliefs, and spirituality, and to learn to read Hebrew. At the same time, conversion students are welcomed into the congregation and introduced to all aspects of Jewish communal life, particularly worship and study of Torah.

The IJL program runs for approximately 30 weeks.

To further explore what is involved in the conversion process, you are invited to speak with Rabbi Weiss.
