If you say to David A.M. Wilensky that he "converted" to Judaism, he'll provide a gentle correction: "I underwent a conversion," he'll say. This may not seem like much of a distinction, but in this episode of Judaism Unbound, we explore a group of people who -- from some frames of reference -- converted to Judaism, but from other frames of reference, were Jewish from the second they were born. In short, Wilensky was born as a patrilineal Jew (his father was Jewish, and his mother at the time was not -- though she has since converted), and he made the choice in adulthood to undergo a "conversion," even though he had lived his whole life in Jewish community. This episode explores his story, and a wide variety of inter-related topics! This episode is the third in an ongoing Judaism Unbound mini-series, exploring conversion to Judaism.Access full shownotes for this episode via this link.Learn more about taking courses in Judaism Unbound's UnYeshiva -- a digital center for Jewish learning and unlearning -- by heading to www.judaismunbound.com/unyeshiva.

Episode 388: Converting to Judaism -- But...You're Already Jewish - David A.M. Wilensky

Matt is off this week so Aaron is joined for a lazy Sunday podcast by journalist, friend and neighbor David A.M. Wilensky. They cover all the online shit talk he's gotten for a snarky article about millenials, Star Trek, Star Wars and many things Jewish. L'chaim!
