It is important to understand that the Jewish community outside of the United States is organized very differently. For example, some require that you show a certificate of conversion to official movements in your country in order to join a synagogue.


If you are seeking a certificate like this, or you think this is something you will need in order to join your local Jewish community, then you should not convert with a Darshan Yeshiva rabbi, and instead, work with a local rabbi. This is especially true in the case of Israel, becoming a Jewish citizen of the State of Israel, marrying a Jew in Israel, etc.


Lastly, due to US law, we are unable to work with students in certain countries. For the safety of our students, we also cannot accept students living in countries where Sharia law is applied.


The following is the list of countries where we currently cannot accept students.
