Ahuvah Gray
Ahuva Gray is an African-American Jewish woman 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. 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.
She has written a book about this journey, entitled My Sister, the Jew.
Since the late 20th century, Gray has lived in Bayit VeGan, Jerusalem.
