Title: Shallow & condescending story of a stumbling toward belief.
Review: I agree with the "reader from New Brunswick" above that Klinghoffer's description of his journey from non-observance to Orthodoxy is shallow, condescending and irritating. It horrified me that he couldn't believe he was Jewish because he's blond. Clearly, he's never been to Israel, or looked very carefully at the Jews in any synagogue in America: we're all hair shades and skin tones from the dark black of the Ethiopians to the blonds of northern European descent. His scorn for everybody who doesn't believe exactly as he does would be painful if he didn't reveal his ignorance in Jewish history and customs so frequently. I still can't understand why he found his "conservative conversion" so meaningless and his "orthodox conversion" so meaningful, considering he "stole the questions" for the orthodox conversion from a friend! I'm sure someone looking for a book on becoming an observant Jew could do better elsewhere.
