The Rabbinical Court conducts the conversion procedure.

​

An applicant who is not of Jewish nationality or who does not have sufficient documents confirming it undergoes this procedure under the supervision of the Rabbinical Court rabbis .

If the applicant successfully completes it, he receives a decision from the Court on his acceptance into Judaism, i.e. he becomes a full-fledged part of the Jewish people - a Jew.

​

How does this work?

•An applicant wishing to undergo conversion signs up for an initial interview at the Conversion Department of the Rabbinical Court;
•The department is examining the appeal;
•If the application is accepted, the Department will establish a course of training for the applicant, which in most cases is required;
•Upon completion of the first stage of training, the Department issues a recommendation to open a case for conversion in the Rabbinical Court;
•The court sets a date for the hearing of the applicant's case;
•After a successful court hearing or hearings, the Court makes a positive decision;
•A woman immerses in a mikvah, and a man is circumcised and immerses in a mikvah;
•The applicant has been living in a Jewish community for one year after the above;
•The applicant goes through a final court hearing in the Rabbinical Court in order to obtain an internationally recognized document confirming the applicant's Jewishness (Certificate of Jewishness).
