"Maimonides: The Life and World of One of Civilization's Greatest Minds". Doubleday, 2008.

| 3. |  | A Code of Jewish Ethics: Volume 1: You Shall Be Holy from Harmony/Bell Tower Price: $15.45 Customer Review: I purchased vol. 2 of this series, and this first volume also looks worthwhile. However, I'd like to put in a word for Immanuel Kant. Kant wrote an entire book on religion emphasizing its ethical (moral) center. Statements made in the beginning of this book appear to be quite in agreement with that... |

| 4. |  | The Complete Idiot's Guide to Kabbalah from Alpha Price: $10.32 Customer Review: This guide is a great introduction to Kabbalah, as taught by Beni Baruch. The writing is very very easy to read and comprehend at a superficial level, while it makes you think extremely deeply at each subsequent reading. Like any book full of profound information, it merits multiple readings... |

| 5. |  | A Code of Jewish Ethics, Volume 2: Love Your Neighbor as Yourself from Harmony/Bell Tower Price: $17.00 Customer Review: Integrates biblical references and moral values to very good effect. In fact, the text is very fluent and easy to read with interesting case studies derived from the present time to antiquity. Really makes you think hard and to challenge yourself about new approaches to commonsense thought. |

| 7. |  | There Shall Be No Needy: Pursuing Social Justice Through Jewish Law & Tradition from Jewish Lights Publishing Price: $10.99 Customer Review: This book is a smart, serious look at traditions of social justice in Judaism and what they can teach us about living an ethical life today. I liked it because it's not just for religious scholars and not just for activists - it's for anyone interested in understanding Jewish ways of thinking about... |

| 8. |  | The Way Into Judaism and the Environment (Way Into...) from Jewish Lights Publishing Price: $11.92 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... |

| 9. |  | The Kabbalah of Money: Insights on Livelihood, Business, and All Forms of Economic Behavior from Shambhala Publications Price: $5.79 Customer Review:  Until I read this I never understood why Jewish people were often perceived as loathsome and reprehensible, now I do. |

| 10. |  | Torah Yoga: Experiencing Jewish Wisdom Through Classic Postures (Arthur Kurzweil Books) from Jossey-Bass Price: $11.17 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... |

| 11. |  | We Jews: Who Are We and What Should We Do from Jossey-Bass Price: $13.02 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... |

| 14. |  | Women and Jewish Law: The Essential Texts, Their History, and Their Relevance for Today from Schocken Price: $8.49 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... |

| 16. | [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 Price: $62.53 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... |

| 20. |  | The Law and the New Testament: The Question of Continuity (Companions to the New Testament) from The Crossroad Publishing Company Price: $5.20 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... |

| 21. |  | Evolving Halakhah: A Progressive Approach to Traditional Jewish Law from Jewish Lights Publishing Price: $27.00 Customer Review: Although the title of the book is Evolving Halakhah, truthfully, Rabbi Zemer argues convincingly that in many cases, a hard line interpretation was never the actual halakhah concerning a given question. Therefore, reaching a progressive approach to a qustion, rather than evolution, may actually be a... |
