Accessible Judaism: A Concise Guide
Rabbi Jacques Cukierkorn, ordained at Hebrew Union College (Cincinnati) is considered an expert on the so-called anusim, the descendents of Jews who were forced to convert to Christianity but who maintained their Jewish identity secretly (in some cases, until today). He is an advisor for international organizations, such as Kulanu, and has been a key player in some of the most controversial mass "returnings" of Jews to the rest of the tribe, from the crypto-Jews of northern Brazil to the Abayudaba of Uganda. He is the spiritual leader of the New Reform Temple in Kansas City and is the father of two daughters. He is the author of "HaMadrij", a guide to Judaism in Spanish. This is his first book in the English language.
