Re: [ha-Safran] Memoir or other engaging read to learn about Judaism

[AMK Judaica via Hasafran]

1) Hugo Mandelbaum, Jewish Life in the Village Communities of Southern Germany 
(Feldheim), is an overlooked and easy-to-read, short memoir with a lot of 
content about traditional Jewish life.
2)  Abraham Carmel, So Strange My Life, is the autobiographical account of an 
Anglican-turned Roman Catholic priest—turned Orthodox Jew (taught English in 
Yeshiva of Flatbush H.S.).

I had a request from a friend who's colleague is looking for a book she can 
read to learn about Judaism. In order to keep her interest and attention, she's 
hoping to find a memoir or some other engaging narrative. I don't think it 
needs to be a complete Judaism 101, just something that will inform and maybe 
invite further research or learning. Even a quality work of fiction might suit 
the purpose at this point.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Another three oldies but goodies (I may have missed these in the suggestions of

after having my first child, while living in a small town where we were the 
only Jewish family. They taught me a lot:

1.  To Life! by Rabbi Harold Kushner, of blessed memory
2.  Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism, by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin and 
Dennis Prager
3.   Jewish Literacy, a large reference tome, by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin

I found that I learned a lot from them.

[ha-Safran] PS Memoirs/narratives about Judaism

[Hindishe Lee via Hasafran]

PS:
Aviva –
Since you said a narrative is preferred this list of books might be engaging.
Even though they are personal narratives of converts to Judaism,
all are fascinating stories of  journeys to Judaism and learning about its laws
and traditions.
I  read them all and enjoyed each one.
