Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our program, process, and what to expect on your journey.
How do I find a rabbi for Orthodox conversion?
Many people struggle to find an experienced rabbi who is clear, supportive, and accessible. Rabbi Chaim Coffman has been guiding students through Orthodox conversion for over 20 years.
He has taught students from all over the world, and his students’ conversions have been recognized by Orthodox batei din internationally.
His program includes weekly live classes, personal mentorship, and unlimited email access, so you are not “on your own” at any point.
How long does Orthodox conversion take?
Most students finish their Orthodox conversion in about 12–24 months (1–2 years).
The exact timing depends on:
- Your starting level of Jewish knowledge
- How much time you can put into learning each week
- Your community involvement and practical observance
- The requirements of the beit din you will appear before
The program gives you lifetime access to the materials, so you can review and continue growing even after you complete your conversion.
How much does Orthodox conversion cost?
Conversion costs vary by program. Rabbi Coffman offers several tuition options so that people in different situations can join:
- Monthly plan: $500/month
- Quarterly plan: $1,200 per quarter
- Complete program: $5,000 one-time payment
Couples have separate pricing, and payment plans are available so sincere students are not turned away purely for financial reasons.
Can I convert to Orthodox Judaism online?
Yes, about 70–80% of the process can be done online.
The online portion includes:
- Live weekly classes
- Private meetings with Rabbi Coffman
- Unlimited email support
- Beit din preparation
However, you still need:
- Regular synagogue attendance
- In-person beit din appearance
- Mikvah immersion
- Community involvement
What should I look for in an Orthodox conversion program?
Look for:
- Personal mentorship
- Weekly group classes
- Practical observance training
- Beit din preparation
- Ongoing rabbinic support
The best programs combine personal guidance with structured learning.
Is online Orthodox conversion recognized?
Yes, when done properly with an Orthodox beit din.
Learning can happen online, but the actual conversion process—including the beit din and mikvah—must happen in person.
Rabbi Coffman’s students have joined many Orthodox communities worldwide.
What are the requirements for Orthodox conversion?
You need:
- Sincere motivation
- Commitment to mitzvot
- Access to an Orthodox community
- Willingness to work with an Orthodox beit din
For men, brit milah or hatafat dam brit is also required.
Do I need to live near a synagogue?
Yes, eventually you will need to live within walking distance of an Orthodox synagogue.
This is necessary because Orthodox Jews do not drive on Shabbat, and the beit din wants to see community involvement.
Can I convert if I'm married to a non-Jew?
It depends on the situation.
If your spouse is not interested in conversion, many batei din may not approve the conversion because maintaining a fully observant Orthodox home becomes difficult.
Each situation should be discussed individually with the rabbi.
What should I expect in an Orthodox beit din?
A beit din is a meeting with three Orthodox rabbis who will:
- Ask about Jewish law and practice
- Discuss your motivations
- Evaluate your sincerity
- Ensure you understand Orthodox observance
The meeting usually lasts 30–90 minutes.
Can I convert if my family opposes it?
Yes, but you must be prepared for the challenges.
The beit din will want to know:
- How your family reacted
- Whether you can maintain observance despite opposition
- How you plan to handle family relationships and holidays
Can I convert to Judaism for marriage?
The key issue is motivation.
The beit din wants to know whether:
- You truly believe in Judaism
- You would still convert even if the relationship ended
- Your commitment is genuine and long-term
Do I need to know Hebrew?
You do not need fluency, but basic Hebrew literacy is expected.
You should be able to:
- Read Hebrew slowly
- Follow prayers
- Understand key blessings and terms
Many students begin with no Hebrew knowledge.
Do I get support during Orthodox conversion?
Yes.
Students receive:
- Unlimited email access
- Ongoing guidance
- Answers to practical day-to-day observance questions
- Support throughout the entire conversion journey
Can I convert to Judaism at any age?
Yes, age does not disqualify you.
- Older students are welcome
- Teenagers need parental permission until 18
- Parents with children can still convert, though family considerations are important
The beit din focuses on sincerity, commitment, and readiness for Jewish life.
