We’re excited to announce the start of our new book, “The Jewish Convert Handbook”. In this book, you will discover what it really means to convert to Judaism, the myths and facts about conversion, the secret history of converts to Judaism, and all the dirty secrets your rabbi doesn’t want you to know! Plus, our book will contain the true stories of converts in the PunkTorah community and beyond. Available in print and in eBook format, this is the only conversion book you will ever need!
The book will be available late May. But we need your help!
We need your conversion story. Submit it before April 16th to patrick@punktorah.org. We also need volunteer editors. So if you are painfully aware of spelling and grammar rules, this gig is for you.
You can pre-order the printed book for $16.99 and receive an honorable mention on the first page! Pre-orders are made via Paypal. Click here to make your donation. Thank you!






Do you have a word limit on the stories? I have one which I can edit but I don’t want to send you something that’s just way too long.

No limit, Dena. Just send it
Thanks so much for contributing!

What a great idea. Does on’es conversion have to be complete in order to submit, or would you like anecdotes about first meetings with rabbis, etc.?

Hey reappearhere: you can submit anything, anytime. Just get it to us before April 16…ideally, before the end of the month.
