Why Did I Convert To Judaism?

* I wanted to be part of the most effective group for making a better world. A group that had a divine recipe (Torah).
* I wanted to improve myself.
* I wanted to belong to a transcendent community (without sacrificing my rational inquiry).
* I wanted to benefit from a wise tradition where God was the author.
* I wanted some of that higher quality of life that Jews have.
* I wanted to feel at the center of the world.
* I wanted to get close to Dennis Prager and other great role models I met in Judaism.
* I wanted to get emotionally and intellectually engaged with a tradition, a people, a text, and a country.
* I wanted to be inspired, stimulated and pushed to be more. I wanted guidance and direction.
* I wanted something worthy to struggle with.
