Historically, conversion from Judaism to Christianity was often seen as a means of overcoming social marginalisation in Christian-dominated contexts; this pattern continued until 1945. Conversion to Judaism, on the other hand, is a controversial and little-researched phenomenon. Based on ethnographic research, I argue that conversion encompasses not only religious transformation, but also social forms. In the context of critical heritage studies, conversion emerges as a social event that generates meanings for the Jewish community.
