Book Overview

The classic guide to the cultural and spiritual treasures of Judaism is now updated for the first time in 15 years to reflect changes in the modern Jewish community.

Living a Jewish Life describes Judaism as not just a contemplative or abstract system of thought but as a blueprint for living fully and honorably. This new edition builds on the classic guide, which has been a favorite among Jewish educators and students for years. Enriched with additional resources, including online resources, this updated guide also references recent changes in the modern Jewish community.

Addressing the choices posed by the modern world, Living a Jewish Life explains the traditions and beliefs of Judaism in the context of real life. It explores the spectrum of liberal Jewish thought, from Conservative to Reconstructionist to Reform, as well as unaffiliated, new age, and secular. Celebrating the diversity of Jewish beliefs, this guide provides a wealth of information that allows readers to make informed choices about how to incorporate Judaism into their lives.

Comprehensive and incredibly family-oriented

Living a Jewish Life never skimped on details regarding the customs and traditions of the more liberal Jewish groups. I especially liked how the authors made an effort to include both Sephardic and Ashkenazic customs and practices. After reading this book I felt more connected to Jewish traditions and more prepared to someday take them on myself.

Truly A Gem

Several years ago I purchased this book. In my quest to learn more about my heritage I started reading this book again. Upon just finishing it right now, I can recommend it wholeheartedly. There are oh so many great qualities about this book. Probably the greatest aspect is the way it is organized. Main sections consist of an Introduction, Home, Observance, Community, and Life Cycle. Each of these main sections discuss...
