The book introduces readers to origins of Judaism and shares the first conversion stories of the people who helped the early Jewish faith grow. Subsequent chapters trace the trajectory of Judaism through the ages while highlighting the stories of converts--both well-known and lesser-known--and how they shaped the tradition. The book includes not only the story of Warder Cresson, who was put on trial for insanity after converting to Judaism, but also famous celebrities who became Jewish such as Marilyn Monroe and Sammy Davis, Jr."--Provided by publisher.ConversionJudaismHistoryJewish convertsBiographyConversionJudaismHistory.Jewish converts296.7/10922Epstein Lawrence J(Lawrence Jeffrey),1516283MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787361403321Converts to Judaism3752654UNINA
