Latter Day Jew

H. Alan Scott, who is gay, a cancer survivor and a former Mormon, is converting to Judaism. He is also a writer and comedian – so this story of his quest to become the ‘best Jew he can be’ is both hilarious and moving.

‘Converting to Judaism isn’t something to be taken lightly, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be funny’ Jewish Film Institute
