| 5. |  | Biblical Literacy: The Most Important People, Events, and Ideas of the Hebrew Bible from William Morrow Price: $21.27 Customer Review: I've always been challenged to read the Bible, but have found it too monotonous. Biblical Literacy was a (for lack of a better word) a godsend. This book is an excellent guide for the biblical novice. Rabbi Telushkin covers all of the Bible in a highly readable, enjoyable format. Some concepts that... |

| 6. |  | Torah Yoga: Experiencing Jewish Wisdom Through Classic Postures (Arthur Kurzweil Books) from Jossey-Bass Price: $13.57 Customer Review:  Torah Yoga tries to weave together overly simplified, and uselessly simplistic, ideas from Jewish mysticism with hatha yoga practice and philosophy. The result reads like those affirmations Al Franken used to do on SNL. Yes, you may be a spark of God's infinite light, and that may lead to a warm and... |

| 8. |  | A Lifetime Companion to the Laws of Jewish Family Life from Urim Publications Price: $12.89 Customer Review:  Dr. Zimmerman has done a fantastic job bridging a gap in knowledge about taharat hamishpacha (Jewish marital laws). This book does a great job of giving you a rundown of the basic principles and laws behind taharat hamishpacha. There is a lot of very practical information and just as importantly,... |

| 9. |  | Total Immersion: A Mikvah Anthology from Beit-Or-Vilnay Price: $14.21 Customer Review: Mikvah and the Laws of Family Purity are from the most difficult to understand and digest. No one does it better than Rivkah Slonim. If you have considered Mikvah, never really understand it or simply curious this is your book. A valuable compendium and resource. This book would be a great gift for... |

| 10. |  | The Way Into Judaism and the Environment (Way Into...) from Jewish Lights Publishing Price: $12.91 Customer Review: Most discussions of what Judaism has to say about the environment involve quoting a few relatively well known verses from traditional Jewish sources (i.e. the bible) and expounding on how they demonstrate that Judaism is an environmentally friendly religion. While Jeremy's book quotes all these... |

| 11. |  | The Law and the New Testament: The Question of Continuity (Companions to the New Testament) from The Crossroad Publishing Company Price: $13.57 Customer Review: Thielman delivers again! Moving away from simply a discussion of Paul's view of the Mosaic law (which has tended to dominate recent discussions), Thielman turns to look at what the rest of the NT has to say on this issue. He again showcases his impressive ability to explain difficult concepts and... |

| 12. |  | Women and Jewish Law: The Essential Texts, Their History, and Their Relevance for Today from Schocken Price: $12.00 Customer Review: I much enjoyed this book. It is well-researched and argues its case equally well. The author points out how so many of the halakhic decisions were originally made to protect women from aggressive males within the patriarchal system of those times. It ends, however, with the cry for those rulings to... |

| 13. | [no image] | Judaism from University of South Florida Price: $67.95 Customer Review: The book is one of the best of Jacob Neusner's ones. It explains exactly what is the real meaning under many of the Mishnaic prescriptions: what is the sense of ruling about the proper consumption of food, of the proper way of washing oneself, of how to pay tithes, about when is it proper (and when... |

| 14. |  | We Jews: Who Are We and What Should We Do from Jossey-Bass Price: $24.45 Customer Review: Steinstalz is the greatest living Talmud scholar, an Israeli born into a secular family, and a mystic and Kabbalist. The two things that stick with me most from this book - or perhaps I'll expand that to a few things: -he makes the argument that from the supposed 5 million Jews of the... |

| 15. | [no image] | A Treasury of Sephardic Laws and Customs: The Ritual Practices of Syrian, Moroccan, Judeo-Spanish and Spanish and Portuguese Jews of North America from Yeshiva University Press Customer Review: This is not the kind of book you just sit down and read cover to cover. It's more of a reference guide to sephardic customs and minhagim. As such, it's an invaluable tool for anyone with any interest in the subject. It's well organized, clearly written, and exhaustively researched. If you're looking... |

| 24. |  | The Jewish Moral Virtues from Jewish Publication Society of America Customer Review: A nice general guide to Jewish values, though sometimes a little too general to hold my interest (which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5). I recommend reading this along with (and preferably before) Telushkin's Book of Jewish Values- this book gives you the forest of general concepts, Telushkin... |

| 26. |  | Coming Home: A Woman's Story Of Conversion To Judaism from Basic Books Customer Review: I've been thinking about converting for two years. I read Kukoff's book and Embracing the Convenant for the same reasons but was looking for a single person's journey in depth rather than a bunch of quotes or a series of stories by others. Shires doesn't speak just for herself, though, but for many... |
