We asked two women, one Jewish, one not Jewish, to weigh in on the often touchy subject of conversion. Here is what they told us:

Leah Jones is an administrative assistant by day, a writer by night and an aspiring ballroom dancer. A proud Jew by choice, she shares some of her new insights on interfaith dating with Shebrew.

In this edition of Shebrew’s advice column 3 Jews, 5 Opinions, we present marriage, drama and interfaith “betrayal.” Sound exciting? Read on…
