Jewish Literacy by Joseph Telushkin (1991, Hardcover)

MAKES A GREAT GIFT!

Rabbi Telushkin has done a favor for us all with his learned book of Jewish history, rituals, ethics and life. Scholarly and fair, witty and fun to read, this is a reference for serious research and casual curiosity. Telushkin provides information, insight, flavor and vignette. Sure he's unstintingly erudite, but he's also an exceptional raconteur. In this collection of 346 important facts about Judaism and its people, Telushkin ranges through all of Jewish history and literature to extract the enduring concepts one needs to know in order to be a well-informed, modern Jew

Every Jew, every Christian, every Muslim and everyone else should read this book. Buy it and study it. The authors do a superb job of explaining the importance of Jewish thought and literature. It is like the Spark's Notes of 5,000 years of Rabbinical exposition.

I bought the kippah for my son. This one had the design and color he wanted. The shipping was very fast and the price was just right.

This is a very readable history book. It is easy to choose the areas you are most interested in. I found it hard to put down.

I purchased this book to give as a gift for someone recently converted to Judaism and it was VERY well received and appreciated. The material contained within covers a myriad of subjects - all thought provoking - and is concisely organized. A very interesting find, suitable for a wide range of ages and degrees of Jewish religious observance, as well as for non-Jews, too. Highly recommended.

The book was in good condition and is very informative about Jewish History and Law. The reason I decided to buy the book was I am searching my heart for
God's truth.
