Summary: A concise and understanding look at conversion
Comment: I am currently studying to convert to Judaism through an Orthodox rabbi. It has been a long and difficult journey, and I still have an arduous road ahead of me. Rabbi Lamm's book has been highly informative and motivating. He's allayed so many of my fears as to exactly what steps will occur along the path of conversion. I've never read a book that has been so sensitive to the plight of the convert and accurate at pin-pointing the ger's feelings. He's right on target in so many of his statements, that I feel as though he's right inside of my head. His book stresses a great deal on halachah, but he makes no move to alienate those who are of other synagogue affiliations. And the first section of his book is dedicated to a forum in which converts from all types of judaism were able to express their feelings and relate their journeys. I highly recommend this book. When I convert one day, with Hashem's help, I will truly owe a great debt to this man.

Summary: wonderful for the convert or the return Jew
Comment: If you are a secularized Jew or a potential convert this is a wonderful book, and one of a kind. I dont think there exists almost any books on conversion to Judaism, therefore this is clearly the reference for you! This book details the many questions associated with converting to judaism. What are the different types of Judaism? What is the history of Judaism? WHo is a Jew and why? Will I need to be circumsized? What about marriage? Will I be excepted? Can I go live in Israel? What is the process of conversion? What are the high holy days? These questions will be answered in this volume and the book provides many personal stories from converts. Easy to read and well organized.

Summary: Considering Converting? Buy this book
Comment: After a 1 1/2 years of debating conversion and doing the research I bought this book. It made me think long and hard. Well written. My only wish is that it had more on the other movements in Judism. I read the book, I started my conversion to Conservitive Judism in Febuary. This book is well worth the money. A great a resource!
