Customer Reviews of Your People, My People: Finding Acceptance and Fulfillment as a Jew by Choice
I loved this book! I wish I had found this book a few years earlier! It is a MUST HAVE for anyone considering conversion to Judaism. And it's great fun to read... I loved the stories!
publisher's comments misleading
I would just like to comment that Carol R. Glatt's Editorial Review is grossly misleading. Judaism has not always discouraged converts.
Positively Must Read For Those Considering Conversion
The pages simply turned by themselves, this book is so compelling. For those converting to Judaism and hungry for the personal stories of other converts, this book is for you. Romanoff begins with her own conversion story, and weaves Jewish philosophy, custom and law through the hundred or so narratives she relates; producing a tapestry of Jewish converts of every flavor while educating the reader. You will find yourself in her book, no doubt. She gently prods her reader to think of possible ramifications of conversion. To her credit, Romanoff doesn't just include the success stories, she sadly relates when conversion didn't work out for one reason or another. One salient undercurrent is her plea for Jews by birth and the Jewish community as a whole to embrace Ruth's legacy, support those who stand with them, set apart only by an accident of birth. The good, the bad and the beautiful of being Jewish by choice is laid out in exquisite detail. The end section contains real resources for anyone converting, or involved with a convert; reading recommendations, helping organizations and a brief Jewish glossary. This book is an open armed welcome and Shalom! to Jews by Choice.
