Notes
Amazon Review: This book is one of the classic summaries of Jewish theology and the Jewish religion. It has a wealth of information, particularly considering its size, and is one of the best ways to learn more about Judaism. It is easy to read, clear and concise, and is easily accessible and valuable to anyone, no matter how much they may already know about Judaism. While some other books may have more detailed information, they sometimes tend to obscure the important points with all the minutiae. This one, even for someone who already knows much of the information in it, is provocative and provides food for thought, and for anyone looking for a review of Judaism, rather than an in depth study, this book is vastly superior to many others.
