Synopsis

<b>Finalist, Spirituality/Religion Author of the Year, <i>International Impact Book Awards International GALA, </i>October 2025</b><b>Winner, Religion-Faith Based Writing, <i>International Impact Book Awards, </i>January 2025</b><br><b>Silver Award in Religion, <i>Nonfiction Book Awards</i>, December 2023</b><br><b>Amazon Best Seller, <i>Jewish Life,</i> October 2023</b><br><br><i>Leaving Bacon</i> Behind provides a comprehensive, easy-to-read guide for conversion that focuses on questions prospective Jews by Choice might have, including "Why should one convert to Judaism?" and "What happens after the conversion?"<br> <br>This book is a direct result of the questions the author fielded during his time as a moderator in one of the largest Jewish-by-Choice internet communities and his own personal experience as a disabled transsexual Jew by Choice. This includes content discussed in Judaism conversion classes and live courses, as well as questions, comments, and feedback from prospective and successful Jews by Choice. No other book on Jewish conversion has incorporated widescale, peer-reviewed feedback from the target community.<br> <br>As the author does not fit the stereotype of an able-bodied, middle-class, white heterosexual female converting for marriage, this book includes a section of additional considerations for converting on a budget, if one is LGBT, disabled, or non-white, if one is already married to a non-Jew, or if one already has children.<br> <br><i>Leaving Bacon Behind</i> is sure to be a must-read conversion classic.
