Customer Reviews

Great buy.....fast delivery! What more can you want!

I looked in book stores and NOBODY had it. One store said they could order it for me for $35.00. Well, I bought TWO copies and paid less than $35.00 including shipping! I had it in two days! This book is awesome for the person that wants simple answers to Jewish questions. By far the best book for understanding the basics of the Jewish faith.

FANTASTIC

I AM GOING TO ASK A REFORM RABBI TO USE IT FOR A INTRODUCTION TO JUDAISM CLASS. IT COVERS BLESSINGS REASONS FOR HOLIDAYS AND LIFE EVENTS TELLS YOU SO MANY HELPFUL THINGS WITHOUT USEING A HEAVY HAND.

perfect book!

Great book for anyone who wants to know the 'why' or 'how' of a Jewish home. I'm not at all religious, but I did want to know what to do when. This book is perfect for thaT.

Excellent Quick Resource

This book is like a "cliff notes" for the jewish home. It includes the appropriate prayers for hanging the mezuzah, shabbot etc... and it does a nice job of explaining the holidays and pointing out the difference b/w reform and conservative jewish observance. I have read this book over and over again and will use it for years to come. I plan to read the stories to my children before each holiday.

Super book - very helpful for the beginner.

Excellent book for the family looking for ways into observing Judaism in the home.
