"In the face of this Jewish communal charade that cuts against the grain of Judaism's true approach toward converts, Rabbi Michael Broyde's beautiful new book, A Concise Code of Jewish Law for Converts , casts a ray of hope. It is one of the few attempts to address the person who stepped out of the mikvah, to show true concern for what happens the day after." Harold Berman, forward.com/scribe "Rabbi Michael Broyde's work, A Concise Code of Jewish Law for Converts is what its title suggests, but much more. Drawing on many years of experience in the process and procedures of conversion in the United States, R. Broyde sets out for the reader, rules for halachic behavior of converts, as they become Jewish. He organizes this initial material in an interesting way, by following the categories of organization of the Shulchan Aruch, and relating specific discussion to the specific relevant section of the Shulchan Aruch." Lawrence Kobrin, listserv.biu.ac.il "Containing a detailed review of every aspect of Jewish law from the convert's perspective and in relation to them, as well as supplemental essays, A Concise Code of Jewish Law for Converts provides knowledge and guidance on life after conversion. Comprehensive, authoritative, exceptionally well organized and presented, A Concise Code of Jewish Law for Converts is a critically important and unreservedly recommended addition to synagogue and academic library Judaic Studies instructional reference collections and supplemental studies reading lists." James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review "Professor Rabbi Michael J. Broyde's new book . . . attempts to address all of the aspects of a convert's life in their new communities and detailing where those lives and native-born Jews might diverge." Gedalyah Reback, forward.com/scribe "Rabbi Michael J. Broyde, a professor of law at Emory University's Center for the Study of Law and Religion, has published a book that paints an intriguing explanation of how gairim or converts to Judaism are treated by Jewish law." Daniel Keren, The Jewish Connection "This book encourages the reader to understand the questions a convert faces so that one may understand and welcome them into the community. Recommended for academic, synagogue, and personal libraries." Daniel D. Stuhlman, AJL Reviews
