The two met weekly on Skype. During that time Rob learned to read Hebrew, studied Torah and also literature covering many aspects of Judaism.Rob completed his conversion this past November in New York City at the West Side Mikvah. There he was questioned by the Beit Din of three rabbis (pictured here) and completed the ritual immersions.“Working with Rabbi Bill has been one of the best experiences of my life. He has been more than generous to pass his knowledge and love of Judaism to me. During this process Bill became not only my mentor but also a true friend.”Kiddish Follows Hosted by Jeff TuckerA scrumptious luncheon Kiddish will feature smoked white fish among other delicacies.
