Becoming Jewish
Whether you are curious about conversion to Judaism, are already in the process or have BECOME JEWISH, this site is for you! We invite you to use this website as your gateway to Judaism.
Who can become a Jew? Anyone who wishes to take on the obligations of a Jewish life can become a Jew. You can be any age, any race, any gender orientation, and become a Jew.
We are a group of San Francisco Bay Area Jews by Choice sharing information, resources and friendship. We offer our experiences and stories to seekers. We stay in touch via an email listserve. We also have an email list for people who are curious about Judaism and want to explore.
Would you like to talk to someone who has already converted? Email us and we'll be happy to offer support.
To take a look at what's going on currently, check out our What's New section. With updates at least once a week (but more like once a day), you'll find plenty of fresh and helpful information there.
