- Prof. Lawrence Epstein is asking to hear from converts to Judaism.
- This is his letter:
-
- I am writing a guidebook for Jews-by-choice, people who are
- converts to Judaism. For my research I would like to hear from
- those who are willing to fill out a questionnaire and/or be
- interviewed on this subject. In particular, I am interested in
- hearing from people considering a conversion, those now seeking
- conversion, people who have already converted, and rabbis who have
- dealt extensively with converts.
