Conversion to Judaism: where to go?

 

The first step is to talk to you local Rabbi. You will find a list of the congregations, which are members of the European Union for Progressive in Judaism on this site: www.eupj.org at https://eupj.org/congregations/

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that only conversions undertaken under the auspices of a EUPJ recognised Rabbi and Beit Din (Rabbinic Court) will allow you to apply for full membership to a EUPJ community and to make Aliyah to Israel if you so wish.
