Opis

This book, a Master's Thesis, provides an insider's perspective of Brooklyn's Syrian and Near Eastern Jewish community edict against marriage to converts to Judaism. The thesis provides an analysis of various versions of the Edict, how it is interpreted by lay leaders, enforcement, and actual cases. While this book focuses on the Brooklyn Jewish community, it is the basis for similar edicts in Aleppan Jewish communities in Latin America.
