Converting My Husband

Question

I met my non-Jewish husband at a time when I was completely unaffiliated, and had severed my ties with everything Jewish.  Having returned from a backpacking trip to Israel, I became increasingly more observant, and have a passion for a closer relationship with God and Torah.

My husband claims that he would want to become Jewish even if I were out of the picture, and he wants his conversion to be accepted by all denominations of Jews.  What can we do?

Answer

It is very admirable that you are trying to return to your roots. May God always help you greatly.

In regards to your specific question, look into an organization called Eternal Jewish Family.  They should be able to help.

Best Wishes,
