Today’s Daf Yomi page, Yevamot 22, casually informs us that the moment a person converts to Judaism, his or her non-Jewish family should be forgotten. Rebecca Cynamon-Murphy joins us to talk about her own conversion, and about how her observant Christian family came to feel about her journey back home to Judaism. What can be gained by inviting your non-Jewish family to be a part of your Jewish life? Listen and find out.
Rebecca Cynamon-Murphy can also be heard in episode 219 of Unorthodox talking more about her conversion experience.
