Becoming Jewish

A Journey of Faith, Questions, and Coming Home What happens when a lifelong spiritual seeker finally finds where she belongs? Amy N. Kaplan's touching memoir chronicles her decades-long quest to find her true religious home. Raised in a confusing mix of Christian denominations, Amy spent years searching through different churches and faiths, always feeling like she didn't quite fit anywhere. From childhood encounters with Jewish neighbors who shared garlic bagels, to terrifying experiences with religious extremists, to a life-changing moment in an Australian shower where she felt God's presence, Amy's journey is both deeply personal and universally relatable. When she meets Herb, the love of her life, and attends her first Friday night service at his synagogue, something profound shifts. For the first time, the prayers feel familiar, the community feels like home, and her soul finds peace. "Becoming Jewish" is more than a conversion story—it's a testament to the power of staying true to yourself while remaining open to unexpected paths. Amy's honest, often humorous account will resonate with anyone who has ever searched for meaning, questioned their beliefs, or wondered where they truly belong. A story of faith, love, and finding your spiritual home against all odds. Perfect for readers interested in spiritual memoirs, interfaith relationships, and Jewish conversion experiences.
