IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION:
This site is slowly being changed and will eventually become unused. You can read about the reasons for the changes here.
The information contained in the original becomingjewish.org website will be integrated on the OneShul website. Patrick Aleph has agreed to host all the information from the original becomingjewish.org website at OneShul. After the information has been uploaded to OneShul this current website will no longer be used.
For those who are still desiring to convert to Judaism you may either go to OneShul (for information about Rabbinical Judaism) or to my current website Derech HaTorah (for information about Qara’im [Karaite] Judaism*).
I wish to express my deep appreciation and thanks to those of you who have come to my website and my YouTube channel over the years. This was a very difficult change to make but I believe it is all for the best.
I also want to express my gratitude to Patrick at OneShul for hosting the information that I obtained over the last 11 1/2 years. I believe it is important to give people the choice of following either Rabbinical Judaism or Qara’im Judaism and in order to have a choice people must have information available to them.
*Please note: My new site is in no way connected to the “Messianic Karaite” or “Messianic Judaism” sites which are in actuality Christian sites.
Shalom,
Rachel-Esther
=====================================
This site offers information about Conversion to (Rabbinical) Judaism, the Basics of Judaism, Jewish Texts, Jewish Law, Religious Life, Jewish Life, Jewish History, Israel, Righteous Gentiles, and References (including Recommended Readings and Additional Links). The goal of this site is to make available a wide variety of plain, basic information about Judaism, written from a traditional perspective.
This site is copyrighted. Everything on this site is free to use with written permission. If you wish to redistribute anything from this site please Contact me for permission.
The information in this site is written predominantly from an Ashkenazi traditional perspective. Be aware however, that many Jews do not follow all of these traditions, or precisely how they are described here. On some pages, I have identified variations in practice or belief in the Orthodox and non-Orthodox movements and Sephardic customs.
The Names of G-d are written throughout this site. If you print any of these pages out, treat them with respect and do not throw them away. If you must get rid of those printed pages please take them to a local synagogue that has a geniza!
