Conversion in Manchester UK
Hi everyone,
I’m a recent graduate moving to Manchester (UK) in September. I’ve been interested in Judaism for a long time, and this will be my first time living somewhere with a large Jewish community, and so I really want to take the opportunity to learn more about the faith, with a potential interest in conversion. I’m not sure where I stand regarding Orthodox/Conservative/Reform, and I don’t want to make assumptions before learning more.
Does anyone have advice on how best to start getting involved in Manchester? Are there particular synagogues, classes or community spaces that would be welcoming to someone who is just beginning to explore?
I’m especially interested in with a lot of other young adults. I know Judaism is very community-focused and I think it would be helpful to learn and maybe participate alongside people at a similar stage of life.
I don’t personally know anyone Jewish, so I’m trying to find a respectful way to explore what this might mean for my future. Thank you so much for any suggestions!
I also completely respect and understand that synagogues in Manchester might not be open to new visitors right now too
I’m new to posting on Reddit and made an account just to post this, so sorry if this isn’t the right place for this <3
