    About this ebook

    A great story hides a nugget of truth in a fictional story but the best stories rely on unadulterated truth.“Giyur: A True Love Story,” as the title implies, is such a story. In a unique twist, the author hears the story secondhand and writes it down without alteration. The story is the definition of short but sweet.

      About the Author

      As a citizen among you shall be the ger (foreigner) who lives among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were gerim in the land of Egypt-I am the Lord your God.

      Angel's explanation of the literal meaning of ger in biblical verses Lev 19:34:

      The Meaning of Giyur:

      Conversion to Judaism (Hebrew: גיור, giyur) is a formal act undertaken by a non-Jewish person who wishes to be recognized as a full member of a Jewish community. A Jewish conversion is normally a religious act and usually an expression of association with the Jewish people and, sometimes, the Land of Israel.[1][2][3] A formal conversion is also sometimes undertaken to remove any doubt as to the Jewishness of a person who wishes to be considered a Jew.
