Choosing a Jewish Life helps you understand the extraordinary journey of self-discovery and of spiritual and intellectual growth that converstion to Judaism can and should be. Recommended by educators and rabbis, and required reading in many classes for those considering conversion, Choosing a Jewish Life contains information and advice about selecting a rabbi, a synagogue, a denomination, and a Hebrew name; it explains what happens at a mikveh (ritual bath) and offers guidance on finding your footing in the Jewish community, religion and “tribe;” it addresses concerns about relationships with your family of origin. Choosing a Jewish Life anticipates questions, doubts, and concerns, provides a comprehensive explanation of the rules and rituals of conversion, and discusses the process of creating an authentic Jewish identity.
