the Honey and Sting: Study Guide for Conversion to Judaism

Many introductions into Judaism are available, but only few teach about how to become Jewish and how to practise Judaism every day; almost none describes this from a European Progressive ­Jewish perspective. This book fills this gap. It is based on materials ­circulated under the title "Jewish by Choice" used in European Jewish ­congregations for several years, written by a Progressive Jewish rabbi for his students. In the appendix it contains a list of possible questions that the Beit Din may ask and some test-yourself quizzes. , born in Bradford UK, studied Theology and Education at Cambridge University. In 1984 he received his rabbinical ordination from Leo Baeck College in London. Afterwards he worked as a rabbi in various ­Progressive congre­gations, among them Leeds, Aruba, Vienna, and Berlin.
