A Shulchan Aruch for our Time

This delightfully useful book (the compilation of three earlier handbooks) provides handy, easy to follow 2-3 page explanations of virtually every significant Jewish ritual and custom; everything from lighting a hanukiyah (Hanukka menorah) and building a sukkah to writing your own theology and interpreting your dreams using Jewish tradition. Often the instructions include helpful diagrams and illustrations. As a bonus, there are numerous little entries of useful information, such as lists of all the books in the Bible, major cities in Israel, and how the Jewish lunar calendar works. An entirely worthwhile book.
