Overview
What could possibly prompt a world-acclaimed respected Christian, pastor, author, and public speaker to embrace Judaism? And not just embrace it, but become a rabbi? Wrestling For My Jewish Identity: An Eclipse with Reality is the true story of Elisheva Irma Diaz's journey to reclaim her Jewish heritage and the faith for which she believes she was born. It explores how a Crypto-Jew found her way out of Exile and reclaimed her blood legacy despite experiencing disappointment and ridicule from those who knew her as a Christian leader and prejudice from many in the Jewish community she joined. Moreover, beyond being a personal account, Wrestling For My Jewish Identity also provides support for the Anusim, those with a Crypto-Jewish background - and practicing Jews - who are grappling with the following questions: "Who am I? Who have I become? Where am I? Where am I headed? Who am I supposed to be?" In the midst of a Sephardic revolutionary movement of Jews throughout the diaspora, and especially in Latin and South America, who are awakening to their heritage, Elisheva's message persists: we must not ignore the calling of the blood that runs through our veins, our spiritual DNA, and as Jews, we must accept that "a Jew is a Jew" regardless of where they have landed in Exile....

About the Author
Dr. Elisheva Irma Diaz de Hernandez, BAJS, MTS, DD (aka Irma Elizabeth Diaz) was born into a Hispanic Catholic family with Crypto-Sephardic roots and attended Catholic private school as a child. As a 1st generation Hispanic whose maternal and paternal origins began in Southern Europe, Elisheva was brought up within her rich Mexican culture. As a young adult, she entered the political world serving in a grassroots Congressional Campaign which after a victory opened many doors in Washington, DC. The height of her national experience was during the Reagan and Bush Senior White House years. Later her love for G-d launched her into a large full time ministry with a team of forty Pastors and leaders and a consistent global following. Through her travels as a speaker and producer of her own international television program she touched many lives. Her experience in Government opened doors in South America where she visited and was hosted annually for fourteen years to address members of parliament including members of the United Nations. As a Bat Anusim she was always interested in Israel and diligently studied the Torah, Jewish sacred writings and ancient literature while she served as a leader in Christian Ministry. Elisheva discovered more about her families roots during the time of the Spanish Inquisition and began to fully embrace her true faith as a Jew in the late nineties. She formally returned to her heritage in 2009. In 2012, she was ordained as a rabbi through the Jewish Spiritual Leaders Institute in New York and today is a Public Speaker and author serving as Vice President of The Coalition for Sephardic Hispanic and Ladino legacy in Los Angeles. She leads services and teaches in synagogues where she is invited and as of late finds herself very fulfilled bringing healing to others through hospice chaplaincy and bereavement work. She is the founder and President of the Ayekah Jewish Foundation and Co-founder and Vice President of the Coalition for Sephardic Hispanic and Ladino Legacy. (www.Ayekah.org)...
