We’re thrilled that you have chosen Darshan Yeshiva to help you on your Jewish journey.
There are three conversion programs to choose from: mitzvah, chai and scholarship. Each program includes access to our free content for kids.
All of our conversion programs include online education, mentorship and conversion through the rabbi’s mikvah and bet din. The only thing not covered by our program is brit milah/hatafat dam brit and student travel.
Students in our Mitzvah Level program are truly a blessing. By choosing this level, you will be giving $400 to our Scholarship Program, which pays for half of a student's program. The more students who sign up for the Mitzvah Program, the more we can lower the price of the scholarship level, making conversion to Judaism even more affordable for countless students around the world. This level includes free lifetime access to our Torah Study, Comprehensive Jewish Studies, Darshan Training (Independent Study) and Kids Conversion to Judaism content.
Students can pay $2,200 or $220 per month for ten months.
This is our most popular level, for three reasons: the price, the free classes, and the opportunity to help Darshan Yeshiva. It's less expensive than the Mitzvah level, but you still get access to some free classes for life, and a small portion of your fee goes to support our scholarship level. This level includes free lifetime access to our Torah Study, Comprehensive Jewish Studies and Kids Conversion to Judaism content.
Students can pay $1,300 for the Chai level or $130 per month for ten months.
This is our basic conversion program level. It's available to students whose incomes prevent them from participating in the chai and mitzvah programs. We encourage students who need this level to please sign up for it. However, it is important to understand this level is reserved for students who have expressed financial need (including students, single parents, etc.) This level also includes our Kids Conversion to Judaism content for free.
Students can pay $900 one time or $90 per month for ten months.
About mentorship calls and ritual conversion
Over the course of your online learning, you will receive approximately ten conversion appointments with your rabbi using Skype. These are opportunities to talk face-to-face with your rabbi about your Jewish life, what you are learning online, etc. Don’t be intimidated! Our rabbis are here to support you, not judge you.
Once you have completed all your online learning and have gone through your conversion mentor meetings, you rabbi will work with you to schedule a time for your conversion.
Conversion rituals depend on the rabbi and his/her denominational affiliation, but usually involve a bet din (a group of fellow Jews, usually rabbis), a mikvah (the ritual bath) and for men, brit milah or hatafat dam brit. Travel to the city your rabbi serves is required for bet din and mikvah.
What happens after the conversion?
After your conversion, you will continue to have a relationship with your conversion mentor. Each month, your rabbi/cantor checks in with you for an hour, answers Jewish questions you may have and provides you with ongoing support. You can choose to cancel your post-conversion education if you would like. The fee for ongoing support is $80.00 USD per month. Students are automatically enrolled in ongoing conversion support and must opt-out in order to not be charged the $80.00 monthly fee.
Not sure if this is right for you?
We recommend potential students sign up for our Judaism For Beginners program. This gives you an opportunity to see what is involved in our conversion program, the classes you would be taking, etc. There is no obligation and you can cancel at any time.
