Does Chabad at Columbia University accept converts?
Chabad follows traditional Jewish Law which states that any non-Jewish person who feels sincerely convinced of the beauty and relevance of Torah, who is prepared to follow the traditions of Israel, and therefore, wishes to join the community of Israel, is welcomed as a convert. The conversion process requires immersion in a kosher mikveh, circumcision for men, and most important is acceptance of the disciplines and practices of Judaism – all under authorized rabbinic supervision.
