Becoming a Jew


Becoming a Jew

Congregation Netivot Shalom welcomes those curious about exploring Judaism!  Many members of Netivot Shalom have chosen Judaism, and Rabbi Creditor is thrilled to be a part of their journeys.  Choosing to be Jewish is an evolutionary process that culminates in the adoption of a new cultural, spiritual, national, and even historical identity.  Conversion to Judaism requires serious study, active participation in Jewish holiday and lifecycle events, and, finally, a ritual moment of acceptance and affirmation.  All of these are parts of the Netivot Shalom community, and we welcome you unconditionally - come explore!
Rabbi Creditor is very happy to meet with individuals curious about converting to Judaism, and also conducts ongoing classes that might be appropriate for candidates for conversion. (Click here for an essay by Rabbi Creditor about his pride in working with those exploring a Jewish identity.)
