The Jewish Channel Features "Atypical Converts"

Aliza Hausman

Check out the interviews with “From Ghetto to Ghetto: An African-American Journey to Judaism” author and African-American convert Ernest H. Adams and “Unlocked: The Life and Crimes of a Mafia Insider” author and convert Louis Ferrante. 

I just picked up Ferrante’s book and I’m hoping to read it soon. As for Ernest H. Adams, I’ve profiled him before for this blog, including a review of his book and an interview with the author. 
Now, I’m going to go check if we have The Jewish Channel here in Los Angeles.

  2. I read Ferrante's Book- I was a little disappointed, it was a lot more about his life before/during prison then about how he actually felt drawn to Judiasm and the conversion process. A lot of robberies took place.
