Product Description:
The author of the highly popular Jewish Way in Death and Mourning and Jewish Way in Love and Marriage offers us a work designed expressly for non-Jews who are contemplating converting, for those who have already converted, and for Jews by birth who wish to gain deeper insight into their heritage. Becoming a Jew describes the odyssey of the convert and charts the traditional approach to conversion. Written in a crisp, contemporary style, this volume addresses questions converts frequently have relating to the procedures of conversion. An invaluable contribution.

Particularly useful was a section detailing the experiences of various converts, which were all very different and sometimes provocative.
