word "Jewish" mentioned in
his home, he said Jews were

While living in New York
Local Columnist City, he discussed with a
friend how his parents were
born Jewish but converted to
Catholicism. Dubner then learned
that he was Jewish because of
Halacha (Jewish law). "It made me

In an enlightening Woman's World
program, Dubner portrayed his own
religious journey from Catholicism
to Judaism, tracing his parents' con-
version.
Debbie Balkin, Karen Katz and
Diane Wyner helped organize this
