Join 18Doors and Rabbi Steven Philp to learn about all the things you might want to know about converting to Judaism. We'll cover some basics like learning about the different Jewish movements, finding the right rabbi to work with, and defining some terms involved in the conversion process including "beit din" and "mikvah." A Q&A will follow.
If you're in a Jewish-interfaith relationship and experiencing a fertility journey with your partner, you're not alone. Join 18Doors and the Jewish Fertility Foundation for a panel and discussion on the many different ways to grow your family, including IVF, IUI, adoption, and more.
Join 18Doors, Rabbi Simone Schicker, and a mohel (the person who performs the circumcision) to learn about different welcoming ceremonies and rituals open to expectant parents, as well about the differences between a Jewish ritual bris and a circumcision performed in a hospital. Together, we'll explore some of the reasons that couples may choose to forego ritual circumcision and discuss the different ways to honor other cultural backgrounds as you prepare to grow your family!
