Conversion refers to the process through which non-Jews may become Jewish. The concept is often associated with the biblical character Ruth, a woman of Moabite origin who is described as "taking refuge under the wings of God's presence." Rabbinic sources see this as an indicator of Ruth's conversion and interpret details about the laws of conversion from Ruth's story.
