| Choosing
to be Jewish: The Ortodox Road to Conversion |
| Angel,
Marc |

|
| Conversion to Judaism is a significant and
growing phenomenon. Through Talmudic and historic evidence
along with his own experience with converts, Rabbi Angel
analyzes the validity and necessity for a more open-minded
approach to candidates for orthodox conversion. Focusing
on the converts themselves, this convincing and enlightening
book sheds light on a new approach to the age-old phenomenon. |

| The Search Committee |
| Angel,
Marc |
$19.95
|
A powerful story about two rabbinical scholars who seek to become head of a leading Lithuanian-type Yeshiva. The novel unfolds as a series of presentations to the Search Committee—by the candidates, their wives, colleagues, students, and philanthropic supporters. The struggle is not just between two men, but between two very different views of Judaism, Torah education, modernity, the role of women, and freedom of thought and expression. |
