 An intriguing story of an evangelical christian pastor and his wife who, in exploring the roots of their faith and searching for the truth, arrive at the doorstep of Judaism.

  They began their journey in 1987 when attempting to understand doctrinal discrepancies within Christianity. A few years later, as pastors of their own church in the middle of the Bible Belt, they search the Jewish Bible, the Torah, for answers. The plot thickens as their Christian congregation begins to observe the Jewish sabbath, and major inconsistencies within Christianity are revealed.
 

  From challenges to threats until the closing of their church and their conversion to Judaism, this touching and inspiring behind-the-scenes story will take you through every eye-opening, heart-wrenching, and hilarious moments.
 

  Yaakov Ephraim and Sarah Parisi are now Torah-observant Jews since 1998. They resided in Morristown, N.J. from 2008-2011 where Yaakov Ephraim learned in kollel, and received his rabbinical certification. Under the advice of their rabbis who have urged that now is the time to tell their story, they went public for the first time since their conversion to inspire all Jew to find their individual connection to their Jewish roots.
