Pledges of Jewish Allegiance: Conversion, Law, and Policymaking in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Orthodox Responsa - Stanford Studies in Jewish History and Culture
David Ellenson
This book examines legal opinions from nineteenth- and twentieth-century Orthodox rabbis on what constitutes legitimate conversion to Judaism and argues that the array of disparate views indicates that these rabbis were not only answering a legal question, but crafting public policy for Jewish communities facing unprecedented changes in status, identity, and interaction with non-Jews.
