A teacher, first. A mentor, always. A steady path to the Beis Din.

Choosing to pursue Orthodox conversion is one of the most meaningful decisions a person can make. The educational journey requires not only learning Jewish law and tradition, but also developing an understanding of authentic Jewish life and values — and finding a teacher who will walk with you the whole way.

Rebbetzin Emily Dahan has dedicated the past seven years to teaching women preparing for Orthodox conversion. Her experience is built upon a lifetime of familiarity with the conversion process, having grown up alongside her mother, who has worked in the field for more than twenty years. Together, that is nearly three decades of combined care for women walking this path.

As a wife and mother of a large Orthodox Jewish family, Rebbetzin Dahan brings real-life experience to every class. Her lessons combine practical Jewish living with a structured curriculum, helping students build a solid foundation in Torah, mitzvot, and everyday observance — so that when the time comes to meet the Beis Din, they are not merely informed, but ready.

Rebbetzin Dahan is affiliated with the South Florida Bet Din and teaches students who have been accepted into the conversion process through the Bet Din. Every course is designed to complement the educational requirements of the conversion journey while remaining faithful to Orthodox Jewish practice.

Students can expect a respectful, organized, and professional learning environment where questions are welcomed, growth is encouraged, and each lesson builds toward a deeper understanding of Jewish life — and toward the day they stand before the Beis Din with confidence.

If you have been accepted by the South Florida Bet Din and are ready to begin your educational journey, we look forward to welcoming you into the classroom.
