The psychological health of Jewish converts hinges critically on their ability to reconcile with, rather than reject, their pre-conversion identities and family relationships. Through psychodynamic analysis of conversion practices in American Jewish communities, a concerning pattern emerges: many conversion candidates exhibit unresolved rage toward their original religious and familial backgrounds, often manifesting as defensive comparisons between Christianity and Judaism. By combining traditional rabbinic perspectives with psychological insights, this research evaluates conventional conversion requirements—religious instruction, ritual observance, and beit din examination—revealing a significant oversight in addressing converts' relationships with their families and communities of origin. Such unaddressed conflicts and suppressed cultural origins create unstable foundations for Jewish identity, potentially spawning intergenerational patterns of mistrust and identity confusion. Effective conversion processes must incorporate therapeutic intervention alongside religious preparation, necessitating collaboration between rabbis and mental health professionals. This integrated approach ensures converts develop authentic Jewish identities built upon integration of their complete personal histories rather than psychological flight from their past, with profound implications for rabbinic counseling practices and the long-term stability of convert families within Jewish communities.
