WICSJ

The Washington Institute for Conversion and the Study of Judaism, under the direction of Rabbi Bernice Weiss, offers individual counseling, private and group in­struction, education, outreach, and support ser­vices, which meet the needs of all persons choosing Juda­ism. The Insti­tute has created a comprehensive study pro­gram, utilizing textual materials on Jewish history, law, and rituals. 

Jews by Choice, and those wishing to learn more about Ju­daism, will use these textual materials but will focus pri­marily upon the Biblical Text. These studies are designed to fully integrate the Jew by Choice into the spiritual com­munity, thus enabling him or her to become an active participant in Jewish life.
