We are about to embark on an amazing adventure. 43 souls have been studying with me in El Salvador for more than a year, after we converted 5 from the group a few years ago in Chicago. My long distance conversion program, www/converttojudaism.net which has converted hundreds from all corners of the world, now is helping build this new Jewoish community.You can see pictures of the group at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151263567005837.518058.678430836&type=1
Tomorrow a beit din travels to El Salvador to interview each family again in person after we interviewed them today by skype, the men will have hatafat dam brit and all will immerse in a mikvah they built. These people are more observant than most Conservative rabbis-shabbat, kashrut, famly purity laws, daily davening. They have shull already BEFORE they are Jewish and have a sefer Torah donated from Beverly Hills.
Why are Chicago Rabbis converting them? Because there is no Rabbi in El Salvador and the other Latin American Rabbis would not help them/. You can guess why. Conservative Judaism is drying up and many would turn their backs on 100 people who want to be Jewish desperately. (there are another 60 or so we'll take care of later.) Below are some of their essays and pictures
