Book Reviews of For the Love of a Child

Book Review: Intentional or unintentional slander of Jewish laws?
Summary: 2 Stars

Betty Mahmmoody has made powerful use of emotional trauma to write a book that is as chilling as it is thrilling, in Not Without My Daughter, an excellent nonfiction read. Her sequal For the Love of a Child is quite redundant and boring, but I admire Betty's objective in bringing awareness to other women who find themselves in a similar situation. Being a proud and informed ultra-orthodox Jewish woman living in Israel, I was dismayed at the disinformation in regard to Jewish law provided by Betty. She tells of a gentile Dutch woman who's secular Israeli-Jewish husband abducted their children and had them raised by Orthodox Jews! Jewish law clearly states that the religion of a child born out of a mixed marriage is determined by its mother.It follows that the Dutch children are definitely not Jewish. Judaism does not engage in missionary activity at all and it is almost impossible to believe that any religious Jew would show an interest in converting these children. (Unless somehow their origin was willfully kept unknown; highly unlikely.) It is my hope that this was an unintentional oversight on behalf of Betty and the publishers and that no deliberate slander against the Jewish religous community was intended. I would feel very honored if Betty herself responds to this!
