Conversion, By the Numbers

The GPS Review Committee evaluated the entire conversion system so it could make recommendations for what it called the “gold standard of services that are professional, respectful and spiritually engaging.” A survey was given to converts, those currently going through the conversion process and those who chose not to complete their conversion with the GPS Beis Din. A second survey was given to sponsoring rabbis. The rate of response for the conversion participations was 439 out of 835 potential respondents, or 52.6 percent, and 107 out of a possible 216 sponsoring rabbis, or 49.5 percent.

Some 78 percent of conversion participants in the RCA-Beit Din of America network are women. The highest number converting comes from the ages 20–29 demographic, which represents 45 percent of the survey sample.
