Converts to Judaism Share Their Stories

In "The Choice", Arnine Cumsky Weiss and Carol Weiss Rubel present the stories of forty-five converts to Judaism. These reflective narratives demonstrate that no two converts' experiences are alike, yet most share some common characteristics: a spiritual uneasiness, fear, doubt, and a gradual development of spiritual and intellectual understanding and acceptance of conversion. The stories in "The Choice" will be a source of inspiration and affirmation for anyone who is struggling with a conversion decision or knows someone who is.
