In his book, Becoming a Jew, Rabbi Maurice Lamm states that the difference between Jews by birth and Jews by choice is a matter of time. Jews by birth embraced the convenant centuries ago at Mt. Sinai, and Jews by choice did so – by comparison – just yesterday. God gave the Torah to the Israelites standing at the foot of Mt. Sinai, and His voice continues to resonate throughout the millennia to be heard by those seeking the way of the Torah.
Jews by choice are a vital part of our HTN community. Known converts participate fully in all aspects of our Jewish culture, religious life, and our leadership. From leading Shabbat services to heading various committees, and serving on the Board of Directors, our converts strengthen our community.
If you are interested in becoming Jewish, please contact Carol Reynolds to schedule an appointment with Rabbi Rosenbaum to discuss your personal journey. We offer both introduction to Judaisim and Hebrew language classes once a year, beginning shortly after the High Holy Days and running through to the spring. Classes normally meet once a week, with individual sessions scheduled once a month with the Rabbi to answer any concerns or questions you have along the way.
Call us today, and be welcomed to your new home.
