Avi M posted on the forum topic Going a bit crazy in the group Conversion: 18 hours, 32 minutes ago · View
Hi there and welcome to our little corner of the interwebs. First I’d just like to point out that this community is actually more geared towards individuals who have already converted or are well into the formal conversion process. Of course, that being said there’s no reason why you can’t participate here on the website, I just [...]

Avi M started the forum topic Audio: Jewish History With Rabbi Mintz – Tons of Good Listening!! in the group Jewish Audio & Video: 19 hours, 17 minutes ago · View
This afternoon I stumbled across what can only be described as “a crap load of freaking awesome Jewish learning” over on the Kehilat Rayim Ahuvim website. From what I gather these audios are part of an ongoing lecture series led by Rabbi Adam Mintz and cover a variety of subjects related to Jewish History. Kehilat Rayim Ahuvim is [...] -

Your welcome! It was no big deal! If you do end up checking anything out keep us posted. BTW the Milton Program is supposed to be great. Also I think I’m going to try and get the passwords for that intro course audio myself as I think they would be interesting to hear.

I was a little bored and curious so I did some googling and this is what I found in SL. BTW you are right not much there. That being said there are a few things. There seems to be (at least according to this list ) more than you thought in your neck of the woods. I think you [...]

Shim’on thanks for mentioning this, as I think it’s an important thing for non-Orthodox Jews to keep in mind when looking for new learning opportunities. I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself as I was reading this post of yours. I pretty much went through the exact same thing with this organization back in 2006. I [...]

The following is a repost of a comment left by Shim’on on the Online Learning groups activity wire. I felt it was worth reposting as a proper forum topic because this way it easier for others to find and comment on when they feel it touches upon an important issue that many converts eventually end [...]

Hi Mike I was just trying to get a better sense of what you’re local options were. While I believe that Chabad are great at doing outreach they aren’t known for their “conversion” programs and so you’re probably going to need to make contact with another community at some point, if you want things to [...]

Hi Mike First off I’d like to say that you picked two excellent books. Especially considering your interest in Chabad and orthodoxy. I’d say it’s a pretty safe bet to assume that those two books are part of most Orthodox conversion programs. If not officially, certainly as recommended supplementary reading. As for prayer, I myself [...]
