NLS Salon Special: Conversion Journeys Behind the Curtain
26th May 2021 @ 7:00 pm
Join us in our zoom room or via Facebook where we will be joined by two people who spend their lives doing the holy work of helping those on their way into the Jewish community. Rabbi Natasha, who oversees and ultimately presents our conversion candidates to the Beit Din, will be in conversation on conversion with Angela Gluck and Rabbi Chaim Weiner.
Rabbi Chaim Weiner is the head of the European Masorti Bet Din, which sees many conversion cases, and also deals with cases of Jewish law such as divorce procedures and kashrut supervision. His role includes working with small communities in Europe, and in normal times, he also travels to mainland Europe to sit on the EMBD there to oversee cases. Rabbi Chaim is also the former rabbi of New London Synagogue.
Angela Gluck teaches, shepherds, and pours and incredible amount of time and energy into the L’Hayim conversion course at NLS. She is also the author of over 40 books, a lifelong educator (and educator of educators), and a trustee of the Separated Child Foundation. But she really needs no introduction to this community.
We will be taking questions, and will provide a method for anonymous questions.
