Choosing to become Jewish

Judaism has always been an erev rav, a mixed multitude of those who inherit it and those who actively step into it. In this episode, the rabbis are joined by Rabbi Rebecca Birk to explore what draws people to choose Judaism today — from a deep spiritual pull to emotional, psychological and even physiological connection. Along the way, they unpack the Progressive conversion journey: a process that’s as inclusive, searching, rigorous and personal as it is transformative.
