We're NOT asking for a Passover donation
We're asking for something far greater
By Rabbi Patrick
We’re a mere week away from Passover. And no, we are NOT asking for a donation.
Instead, I’m asking for your support by becoming a student at Darshan Yeshiva.
By becoming a student at Darshan Yeshiva, your support will help us continue to provide the educational programs that our community relies on. You pay for a program, and the proceeds go to help make it all possible.
Consider joining our new FIRST STEPS course, where I personally guide you through the Jewish ideas of God, Torah and Israel.
Join one my favorites, JUDAISM FOR BEGINNERS.
Overall, DARSHAN TRAINING is by far the best deal (all courses are included free with that program).
Perhaps you want to meet us at Mount Sinai? And that means our Conversion to Judaism Program. We have $400 scholarships for those who need help joining us in the Jewish peoplehood and faith.
Thank you for your continued support, as a student, a donor, or both - and may this Passover bring you and your loved ones blessings of freedom and renewal.

Hi,
Fifteen years ago I tried to convert. I was attending a Chabad schul. The Rabbi was supportive of me coming and learning about Judaism but when I wanted to convert he said: I cannot provide.
I tried three times but I could not succeed. I stopped coming to the schul more due to the disappointment. I was coming from the Christian Orthodox background. I remember this feeling I had while being in schul.... Every single time I was feeling that I come back home and I was having my eyes in tears... Is beyond me... the only way I could explain this is that maybe my soul is Jewish... I do not have anyone in the family Jewish. But I was surprised to find out after a genetic test that my ancestors were also from Ukraine 23% among which 14% were ashkenazi Jews. Maybe this is explaining my emotions and feelings...
Hi, is it possible to do the Darshan training for the knowledge and wisdom of it, even if we are probably unable to become darshanim due to long-term disability or chronic illness? I'm asking because I definitely have an interest in the program, but if I am required to do field work as part of the program, then I probably cannot do it. Otherwise, I would love to consider it (all things Jewish). I am assuming(?) also that it is self-paced like DY's other programs. Thanks in advance.
