i loved a few of her other books and i have always wanted to know what it would be like to convert to Judaism and i must say, some parts made sense, and it must be amazing to connect with your partner not only on a physical and emotional level but also a religious level. BUT after reading this its not like i will run out and find me a Jewish husband and many Jewish men and women DO NOT want to marry someone who is NOT jewish.
I guess the point im getting at is, even in the description it talks about the 'rules' of being a Jew, the things you MUST say and DO and the thinks you CANT do.
Im sorry i cannot allow myself to be part of a religion where there are 'rules' like im in elementary school.
I believe everyone is entitled to their own religion, but Judaism is definately not for me. I dont want to belong to a group/religion/organizations etc that doesnt give me freedom to feel what i want to feel and do what i feel is right to do.
