Essential Judaism
A Complete Guide to Beliefs, Customs and RitualsBy George Robinson
(644 Pages)Publisher: Simon & Schuster, 1999
Written by an informed layperson for a popular audience, this book can be understood and appreciated by all. Robinson, a former syndicated columnist, writes as a committed Reform Jew attempting to fairly present the viewpoints of the various modern Jewish movements (Conservative, Reconstructionist, Orthodox). The book is divided into nine chapters that focus on such issues as prayer and ritual, festivals, the life cycle, the Hebrew Bible, the Talmud, and Jewish mysticism. The appendix contains some key documents, a time line of major events, and a discussion of what is kosher. There is also a helpful glossary of Jewish terms. The book is extremely readable with a clean layout and highlighted sidebars.
