Chicken Soup with Chopsticks: A Jew’s Struggle for Truth in an Interfaith Relationship is the first book of its kind to address the subject of Jewish-Gentile inter-dating via a first-hand account of its struggles.
● Does God care if I marry a gentile?
• “Jack Botwinik provides some unique insights into Judaism as he looks at his faith heritage through the combined lenses of a secular Jew and a gentile, both on a search for Truth. His recounting of their sincere exploration of faith, leading them both to become observant Jews, makes for interesting and thought-provoking reading.”
— Audrey Dorsch, former editor of Faith Today
● How could I explain to her that I’m not supposed to marry her because she is not Jewish? What would she think of me? What would I think of myself?
• “Any Jew who is dating a non-Jew feels torn, feels guilt, feels confusion, feels ambivalence. In my experience, many also fail to think through all the many issues that inter-dating involves. This book is an invaluable resource in its lucid and frank musings on the many and varied issues that need to be addressed by the thoughtful Jew.”
— Rabbi Reuven Tradburks, Spiritual Leader of Congregation Kehillat Shaarei Torah
● Why must I limit my dating prospects? Because of tradition? Parents’ wishes? The Holocaust? How did Judaism suddenly become important in my life? Will she convert for me?
• “It is obvious the Botwiniks are unique. Reading this book, one cannot but be filled with admiration for their singular attainment.”
— Rabbi Dr. Reuven P. Bulka, Author of over 30 titles, including Best-Kept Secrets of Judaism

JEWS FOR JUDAISM is an outreach organization whose primary goal is to win back to Judaism those Jews who have been influenced by the following six threats to Jewish survival that are devastating the global Jewish community.
1. Hebrew-Christian missionaries convert thousands of Jews worldwide every year
2. Destructive cults cause many Jews to abandon family, friends and careers
3. Eastern religions, Buddhism and Hinduism are spiritual choices for many Jews
4. Apathy and ignorance leave many Jews unaware, unaffiliated and assimilated
5. Intermarriage is exploding with a 75% rate in some North American cities
6. Anti-Israel BDS on campus inhibits Jewish students from standing up for Israel and Judaism
To assist non-Jews who have left other religions, JEWS FOR JUDAISM also provides educational programs to help them embrace the Torah’s Seven Noachide Laws for Gentiles.
We achieve our goals through our worldwide Internet outreach, Social Media, free educational programs, educational literature and counseling services that connect Jewish people to the spiritual depth, beauty and wisdom of Judaism.
“I am so grateful to have discovered the wonderful Jews for Judaism YouTube lectures by Rabbi Skobac. I am a Jew who converted to Christianity in college, but now, thanks to your online outreach, I have returned to Judaism. Thank you.” – Rebecca G.
In a nutshell, Jews for Judaism saves Jewish lives and keeps Jews Jewish.
