Choosing a Jewish Life: a Handbook for People Converting to Judaism and for Their Family and Friends
by Anita Diamant
by Anita Diamant
Choosing a Jewish Life is a fine resource for information on conversion to (non-Orthodox) Judaism. The book is part "What to Expect...", part discussion of the history of Jewish conversion and attitudes toward conversion, and part discussion of Jewish life. This book makes no assumptions about the reader's level of knowledge or familiarity with Judaism - which, given the book's intended purpose, is a good thing, though it may mean the book is less useful to readers who have already spent time studying Judaism or living a Jewish life. Even more knowledgeable readers, however, will likely find that this book is a useful resource for friends or family who would like to know more as to what this whole conversion thing is all about.
