Becoming a Jew

Summary: converting the orthodox way
Review: The path for judaism starts somewhere. Maybe a jewish friend that take us to temple, maybe we're dating a jewish girl/guy or just curiosity... and we want to know more. What is judaism about? Is conversion possible? Is other people going through the same process?. Maybe is too soon to go to a Rabbi to talk about this, or we are just too shy. These and other questions are answered in this book. Personal experiences, holidays, jewish belief, traditon, etc.
I bought it 4 years ago. Good introduction to judaism. Gave it to my boyfriend as a gift. Actually he is going through the convertion process with an orthodox rabbi, and it was pretty usefull to him.
If you want a conservative / reform guide, maybe you'll be more interested in Anita Diamant's book: Choosing a Jewish life.
Another good book is Living Judaism, by Rabbi Wayne Dosick.
