Total immersion in a properly prepared pool of water, a mikvah, is part of the conversion process. Some Jewish men immerse in a mikvah every day, some women once a month.</p> Thu, 24 Nov 2022 20:03:16 +0000 Rabbi Sammy Jackman 2401 at /morsl /morsl/channels/event/partner-event-awareness-inclusion-sherry-diamond-328557 <p>In support of <a href="https://www.templemontreal.ca/shabbat-online/">Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom</a> and JDAIM, we are pleased to co-host guest speaker Sherry Diamond during Jewish Disability Awareness and Inclusion Month (JDAIM).</p> Fri, 12 Feb 2021 21:40:18 +0000 carlene.gardner@mcgill.ca 2133 at /morsl /morsl/channels/event/partner-event-if-i-cancan-maysoon-zayid-328558 <p>In support of <a href="https://www.templemontreal.ca/shabbat-online/">Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom</a> and JDAIM, we are pleased to co-host guest speaker Maysoon Zayid during Jewish Disability Awareness and Inclusion Month (JDAIM).</p> Fri, 12 Feb 2021 21:44:36 +0000 carlene.gardner@mcgill.ca 2134 at /morsl
