note = {Becoming Jewish is the first all-inclusive, step-by-step guide to
converting to Judaism. Steven Carr Reuben, a highly respected rabbi,
and Jennifer S. Hanin, a convert to the faith, lead readers through
the conversion process, providing the right mix of advice, resources
and humor for the journey.       Jews-to-be often find the steps to
Judaism foreign, complex, and mysterious. From learning an ancient
language, to entering the mikvah (ritual bath), to choosing a Hebrew
name, to circumcision, to appearing before a bet din (Jewish court),
becoming a Jew is anything but quick and easy. In this engaging and
accessible guide, Reuben and Hanin offer practical wisdom for every
step of conversion, including:                        telling family
and friends                                       selecting a
denomination                                      choosing a rabbi    
                                 understanding Jewish rituals         
                            celebrating Jewish holidays               
                      putting aside childhood holidays                
                     keeping ties to the past                         
            advice on weddings, raising kids, and more                
   Throughout, the authors focus on developing a healthy spiritual
life, while helping readers understand what it means to be Jewish,
absorb Jewish teachings, and live a Jewish life.},
