Ahuva Gray (née Delores Gray) is a writer on religion and memoirist. She is a former Baptist minister who converted to Judaism and chronicled her changing beliefs in the book My Sister, the Jew, published in 2001.
Biography
Gray is African-American and was born to a Baptist working-class family in the Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago. She is a relative of baseball player Lorenzo Gray.
Gray worked for 23 years as a flight attendant, living in Los Angeles. She came a Baptist minister.[1] She began to doubt Christianity when she found what she believed were discrepancies in the New Testament. Her discovery prompted a process of searching for a renewed faith. Eventually she found and studied Judaism; Gray believed that the Torah made the most sense. In 1996, she gave up her position as a Christian minister and completed conversion to become an Orthodox Jew. She took the name of Ahuva.[2]
She has written a book about this journey, entitled My Sister, the Jew (2001).
Since the late 20th century, Gray has lived in Bayit VeGan, Jerusalem.[3]
