The book Peninei Halakha: Conversion deals with all matters pertaining to conversion and converts, both in theory and in halakha. As is characteristic of all Peninei Halakha books, this volume establishes the rules and fundamentals, then delves into the various details of this important topic.
Converts play an important role in the Jewish people, as our Sages said (Pesachim 87b): “The Holy One, blessed be He, did not exile Israel among the nations except so that converts might be added to them”; on the other hand, their integration can be complex. The book thoroughly explains the various aspects of this complexity.
The book opens with a general chapter on conversion and the mitzvot associated with it; the next two chapters discuss the conversions that have taken place among the Jewish people throughout the generations—Chapter 2 on converts of righteousness, and Chapter 3 on complex conversions in Jewish history, such as the “Erev Rav,” the Gibeonites, and the Cuthites. Chapter 4 deals with the role of the rabbinical court, and Chapter 5 with the practical conversion process. Chapter 6 addresses the issue of converting relatives of the Jewish people in times of distress, and Chapter 7 deals with the conversion of minors.
The two concluding chapters of the book elucidate the laws pertaining to the convert after conversion, in which the power of free will—which is particularly pronounced among converts—is expressed; based on this, Rabbi Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, shlita, has explained numerous laws and matters in the book.
