This book is a practical and inspirational companion to the conversion process for Jews-by-Choice and their families. 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 also will speak to their familiesthe non-Jewish family that provided his or her spiritual beginnings and the Jewish "family" which receives the convertand help them understand why the decision was made.
Rabbi Allan L. Berkowitz and Patti Moskovitz have worked with converts for a combined total of more than 30 years.

"Unlock the powerful truths that shattered ancient beliefs and paved the way for the new and revolutionary religion that became Judaism.

This is a unique look at the Torahthe foundation of Jewish existenceand the revolutionary teachings of Moses embedded within it that gave birth to Judaism and influenced the world.

Dr. Reuven Hammer presents fourteen radical ideas found in Torah, explains their original intentions, and shows how understanding these ""truths"" can help you better understand the narrative and laws of Judaism.

Poverty, deprivation, slavery and hatred are evils that must be eradicated
The earth is not ours to destroy
The love of others is a divine command
And much more ...
