4. Choosing a Jewish Life: A Handbook for People Converting to Judaism and for Their Family and Friends, by Anita Diamant
So I'm SUPPOSED to be reading As a Driven Leaf and The Red Tent, but for whatever reason, this title has been pulling at me ever since I heard of it, and I finally checked it out of our temple's library.
I need a copy of this book. I found it to be very validating of many of my confusions and hesitations on this path. Of course, no book can take the place of talking to people, but reading this has given me more confidence to bring up questions and concerns since I don't think I'm the only proselyte to have thought these things before.
Also I now feel better about being upset over Christmas last year.
And one of our rabbis and our cantor are credited in the acknowledgments. Of COURSE they are.
