{"product_id":"the-secrets-of-becoming-jewish-nancy-kirsch-9780692396063","title":"The Secrets of Becoming Jewish","description":"While each person's path to Judaism is unique, they all share a deep sense of commitment to their newfound faith. Miriam, a highly successful nurse, chose to convert to Judaism on her own after becoming disillusioned by what she thought were Catholicism's overly negative views of women; Ahava, also a former Catholic, embraced Judaism after falling in love with a Jewish man; and Alanna, who grew up as a conservative Christian, always felt uncomfortable with Christian teachings that discouraged questioning. Within these pages, you will also discover the story of Reda and Nour, a Muslim couple from Lebanon who chose to leave their home in Beirut because near-constant strife in the Middle East made life difficult for them. As these stories reveal, one's decision to convert often raises questions and concerns about familial acceptance or rejection; whether to keep kosher or give up past holiday traditions; challenges in choosing a synagogue; and how to balance interfaith relationships. Yet despite these challenges, Judaism's teachings and traditions bring fulfillment and comfort to those who embrace the faith.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Kirsch, Rabbi Bernice Weiss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692396063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692396063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Washington Institute for Conversion and the S\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.08w x 0.35d","brand":"Nancy Kirsch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925668200703,"sku":"9780692396063","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_400ac265-6dfc-4d98-a5bb-449a576da3a6.jpg?v=1681078639","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-secrets-of-becoming-jewish-nancy-kirsch-9780692396063","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
