The Sandra Caplan Community Beit Din of Southern California

The Sandra Caplan Community Bet Din of Southern California was founded in 2002 on the premise that conversion to Judaism can and ought to be an experience that transcends denominations. The organization adheres to standards that have been endorsed by the Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist and transdenominational movements. It is directed by a professional rabbinate that guides and welcomes conversion candidates with sensitivity and gentleness.  134 Rabbis from the Conservative, Reconstructionist, and Reform movements, as well as transdenominational rabbis, have agreed on standards and procedures; this assures that converts will be welcomed by the great majority of the Jewish community. Our pluralistic, permanent sitting court is virtually unprecedented.We are proud to welcome new Jews from diverse racial, cultural, ethnic, and class background, and from diverse gender histories and expressions. We work sensitively and individually with all candidates to bring them, body and soul, into the Jewish people.

Adas Israel Community Mikvah | Washington, DC

The waters of the Mikvah fell as rain. Before that, they were clouds, fog, lakes and oceans. Earlier still, they ran in rivers from deep springs that bubbled up and gathered on the earth. Our ancestors told stories about water–the Creation of the World, the Flood, the Wells, the Red Sea, and many others– that we still tell today. Water is an essential part of life and a primary Jewish symbol. Every culture has its water ritual. Mikvah is ours. By entering water in a ritualized way, we are embraced by this primal element and given a moment to experience the holiness of our own bodies. Ritual immersion is a powerful way of feeling connected to the earth, to Jewish tradition, and to God. As the only inclusive, pluralist Mikvah in the Greater Washington area, the Adas Israel Community Mikvah welcomes you. Here you will find many ways that you as an individual, a family or a community can learn about and experience this unique part of Judaism.
