Conversion

We welcome interfaith couples and families, just as we welcome every other type of family at Temple of Aaron. Non-Jewish partners pray with us in the sanctuary and the chapel, share in holiday celebrations, and participate in the Bar/Bat Mitzvah of their children. As a Conservative synagogue, we live our egalitarian values by embracing the participation of all types of families and partnerships. We also abide by Jewish law in reserving certain honors for Jewish congregants only, such as the honor of being called to the Torah for an aliyah. The rabbis are available to guide interfaith couples leading up to and after their wedding, though our Rabbis do not perform interfaith ceremonies themselves. They are also available to counsel couples around life cycle events and the day-to-day experience of sharing a life together.
