Embracing the Covenant: Converts to Judaism Talk About Why & How

This book is a practical and inspirational companion to the conversion process for Jews-by-choice and their families. It is practical in its explanation of the process and the pitfalls; inspirational in the stories it tells and the wisdom it shares.

Written primarily for the person considering the choice of Judaism, it provides highly personal insights from over 50 people who have made this life-changing decision. But it will also speak to their families--the non-Jewish family that provided the convert's spiritual beginnings and the Jewish "family" which receives him or her--and help them understand why the decision was made.

To those in the Jewish community who work with these "embracers of the covenant" as they explore new paths, and to other Jews by birth who want to welcome them, it will provide valuable guidance.
