The Orthodox-trained Rabbi of a Reform shul is offering online conversion classes. But don't worry, this isn't a quickie conversion or anything. At the end of each of the 8 "study units," which can be completed in 3 months, there is a quiz!! Intimidating stuff.
Actually, participants also have to attend a "conversion seminar," and write a final exam. "But unlike most tests," says the NYT, "there is no predetermined passing score."
The article doesn't mention the actual conversion ceremony. Do they, I wonder, go to a virtual mikveh as well?
