<p><b><i>'"I liked the Jewish jokes," she says.</i></b><br><b><i>"Oh, it's OK", I say. "I'm allowed to make them."</i></b><br><b><i>Her eyes light up.</i></b><br><b><i>And so it all begins.'</i></b></p><p>When Max meets Eliana, a dazzling modern Orthodox Jewish girl, in a bar in Edinburgh one night, he never expected it to kickstart an agonising identity crisis. While their connection is instant and deep, Max discovers a devastating truth: that despite his upbringing, to millions around the world, including the girl he's fallen for, he is deemed non-Jewish.</p><p>Determined to build a future with her, comedian and writer <i>(and uncircumcised liberal Jew)</i> Max Olesker embarks on one of the world's most demanding religious conversion processes. He attempts to navigate the dizzying complexities of Jewish law, the challenges of maintaining a relationship without physical contact, and the looming prospect of a date with a scalpel. From moving into the home of an Orthodox family for eight months to enduring gruelling interrogations by a high court of Rabbis, Max's journey is a rollercoaster of humour, heartbreak, and self-discovery.</p><p>A hilarious and moving true account of one man's quest to marry the love of his life, <i>Making the Cut</i> will make you laugh, cry, and believe in the transformative power of love.</p>
