How can we celebrate our daughter-in-law’s conversion to Judaism? Dear Rabbi, My daughter-in-law is being converted to Judaism and is giving her speech before the congregation at a Friday night Ruach service. Our family wants to celebrate the conversion. Is it appropriate to host a Shabbat dinner at synagogue after the service as a way to welcome her into the community? Thank you for response. Phyllis Answer: Dear Phyllis, Mazal Tov on your daughter-in-law’s conversion. Any conversion undertaken for the sole purpose of accepting God, Torah, and the mitzvot is truly a special event and worthy of a celebration. Indeed, the Talmud (Shabbat 118b) teaches us that we should hold a party at the conclusion of every intensive period of study, and by extension, at the completion of lengthy and difficult mitzvot. Enjoy this most worthy and merited celebration!
