The Everything Judaism Book by Richard D Bank Pdf

Judaism has survived for four millennia, and many of its customs, laws, and traditions have remained exactly the same today as in the days of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Everything Judaism Book explains the major precepts of this robust religion in language anyone can understand and appreciate. From High Holy Days, such as Passover and Yom Kippur, to symbols and objects, such as the Star of David and the tallis prayer shawl, Jews and non-Jews alike will gain new understanding and insights into the rich diversity and seemingly endless complexity of Jewish practices and culture. Authoritative and thought-provoking, The Everything Judaism Book has been exhaustively reviewed for accuracy by Orthodox Rabbi Jacob Rosenthal and Reform Rabbi Robert Leib. The Everything Judaism Book is a terrific introduction if you're learning the religion for the first time, a great way to brush up on facts you may have forgotten from Hebrew school, and the perfect mitzvah (good deed) gift for a friend or relative.

Modern Judaism by John Allen Pdf

John Allen's discussion of Judaism dates to 1816; for many years, it was the authoritative history of the Jews from the time of Abraham through to the modern day. When sourcing the information necessary for this account, the author was discerning and meticulous: the history of the Jews is a topic of enormous depth and scope, requiring the use of holy books and written records often centuries or millennia old. Principally he examines the Holy Bible, and in particular the pertinent Old Testament texts, plus the holy books of the Jews such as the Kabbalah and Talmud. Other more esoteric sources include the Spanish and Portuguese Jews' Prayer Book. Each chapter of Modern Judaism includes numerous notes, elaborating further and list the relevant passages. Many wide-ranging aspects of Jewish life are covered; such as how to manage births, marriages, deaths, the preparation of food and the care of pregnant women. The ancient temple and its precepts are extensively narrated, that readers comprehend how the Jewish faith changed and evolved as the centuries passed, with rabbis across the ages contributing to the written lore. This reprint reproduces the tables and Hebrew script of the expanded second edition, which was first published in 1830.

So Many Gates to the City... A Guide for the Modern Perplexed A Book About Jewish Belief and Understanding, and Making Some Sense Of It by Irwin Tyler Pdf

In today's society, Jew and non-Jew alike know little about the spectrum of practices and beliefs that are called Judaism. Few Jews can answer these questions: What is an Orthodox, a Conservative, a Reform Jew? Why are there different viewpoints within Judaism? How did these different viewpoints come about? Few Christians can answer these questions: What did Jesus, the Jew, believe? How did Jesus, the Jew, practice Judaism? What is the Jewish mindset of the world of 2,000 years ago? What is the range of today's American or Israeli Jewish mindset? Anyone wanting to understand the basics of Judaism needs the level of understanding of Judaism that ""So Many Gates to the City..."" offers. This book makes the foundations of Judaism more understandable and meaningful to the Orthodox, non-Orthodox and non-Jew alike. The most fundamental concepts defining Judaism are made readily understandable, while the divergences that non-Orthodox Jewish movements have taken are made clear.

What does it meant to be a Jew? How does religion affect the ways in which Jewish people think and act? What are the basic concepts of Judaism? This volume answers these vital questions.
