Telushkin combs the Bible, the Talmud, and the whole spectrum of Judaism's sacred writings to give us a manual on how to lead a decent, kind, and honest life in a morally complicated world. "[F]or ethical teachings to carve a way into our hearts, we must study and practice them ... day after day after day," explains Rabbi Joseph Telushkin in the book's introduction. The book is structured as a daily guide to living, with scriptural lessons, meditations, and exercises covering topics ranging from "the first trait to look for in a spouse (Day 17)" to "how to change negative patterns of behavior (Day 150)." At the end of each week, Rabbi Telushkin provides a special Sabbath review of the prior six days' teachings, to ensure continuity among the book's many lessons. This simple, straightforward approach to religious and ethical teaching is an ancient and proven one.

Why would a Christian like a book on Jewish Values?
) I am a Christian, but I've enjoyed reading many of the selections from Telushkin's book on Jewish Values. This is part of my religious heritage, isn't it? Paul spoke of Christians being grafted into Judaic lineage, didn't he? Well, I'm finding that although I may not agree on every point Telushkin makes, I think there is much to learn here. Judaism has a good perspective on doing acts of kindness, for example, that is not always emphasized in Evangelical circles from which I currently herald.
I purchased this book since I may be presenting a class at my church about some basic tenets of Judaism. There is a need for us all to know each other better, it would seem.
This book has an appealing daily format with a "Sabbath" time for review and discussion over each week's topics. It would be an easy and profitable tool for any Jewish family to use at the dinner table each evening. Perhaps some Christians may also enjoy considering using it for a season to broaden their perspective and enliven discussion of basic Judeo-Christian beliefs.
I'm glad I've made this purchase and welcome it to my own library.
