Conversion: Halakhic Foundations & Contemporary Questions

In this Halacha Mastery Program course with Rabbi David Brofsky we will examine the halakhic foundations of giyur (conversion to Judaism), exploring its biblical and Talmudic sources, central principles, and practical requirements.

Through close study of classical texts and contemporary halakhic discussions, we will consider the procedures and obligations of conversion, the role of the beit din, and key questions surrounding the application of conversion law in contemporary Jewish life.

This course is free for Halacha Mastery Program students. If you are not enrolled in the Halacha Mastery Program a $50 donation is required. Questions? Email office@webyeshiva.org
