Reviews

This was assigned by my Rabbi to help me identify subjects that I want to study more in depth. Absolutely the best Jewish "primer" I've read as far as clarifying the differences between the four Jewish movements.

Out of all the Jewish overviews I've read, this one focuses the least on history, which was appreciated - after reading countless century-by-century accounts of the development of the religion and culture, I really felt like I was missing out on some of the fundamental spiritual aspects.
