While our program is based online, many people want that in-person mentor relationship. And in our most popular city, New York, you’ll certainly find it!

For over a decade, Darshan Yeshiva has been connecting students with rabbis and cantors who teach and guide them through the conversion process and officiate at their conversion rituals. We are also the only online-based conversion to Judaism program in the world that provides conversion mentors from across the Jewish spectrum.

How It Works

Learn on your own schedule
Enjoy our self-guided videos, podcasts, and readings that provide many perspectives on essential Jewish topics, including God, Torah, Israel, holidays, lifecycle celebrations, Jewish values, and more. No Hebrew knowledge required.
Meet with your mentor
Choose a mentor that best fits your needs. Our mentors include Conservative, Reform, and other progressive Jewish clergy experienced in helping conversion students. Meet monthly online, on the phone, or in-person with your NY/NJ based mentor for 10 months. Your mentor will also be available by email for additional support.
Convert to Judaism
When you complete the program, participate in the conversion rituals in-person with your mentor. Your mentor will set up every aspect of the rituals, ensuring a smooth and supportive experience.
