| Summary: | Chapter 1: Dual Covenants and Jewish Identity -- Chapter 2: Apostasy and Conversion as Conceptual Mirrors -- Chapter 3: Conversion Rituals -- Chapter 4: Converts, Courts & Conviction -- Chapter 5: Conversion of the Heart vs. Conversion for the Heart -- Chapter 6: Covenantal Influence on Conversion -- Chapter 7: The Israel Factor -- Chapter 8: Conversion and the Future of Israel. Covenant and the Jewish Conversion Question reevaluates conversion and Jewish identity through the lens of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik’s dual conception of the Covenants of Fate and Destiny. By studying an array of key rabbinic texts through this lens, the book explores the boundaries and interplay between these biblical covenants through apostasy, holiness and the key elements relating to conversion law. This understanding provides a relevant framing device to deal with the conversion and Jewish identity crises faced in the State of Israel and beyond. |
