Title: The Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism
Author: Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin
Genre: Non- Fiction

This is the second book that the rabbi I'm working with on my potential conversion encouraged me to read. It was a fascinating book. It really does answer a lot of the questions that non-Jews have about the religion and culture of Jews. If you're interested in studying Judaism either because you're on a conversion path or just because you're interested in religion or history I would definitely recommend this book.

Like the previous book nothing I read in The Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism made me feel uncomfortable or hesitant about my path toward conversion. In fact it made me feel even more strongly that Judaism is the right system of beliefs and actions for me. The Judaism that I know so far feels like the place I should be. That scares me. I've always been areligious and now being so compelled toward a religion is making me question a lot things about my own self definition. It's heavy stuff.
