| 7. |  | Unchosen: The Hidden Lives of Hasidic Rebels from Beacon Press Price: $10.88 Customer Review: I enjoyed it. And not just because my sister wrote it. For the detractors: 1) It shouldn't threaten you. Virtually every group has its defectors at one time or another (it doesn't mean that the "rebels" are renouncing Hasidism; its structure may be too rigid for them for the time being).... |

| 9. |  | ORTHODOXY from NuVision Publications Price: $9.59 Customer Review: Chesterton's Orthodoxy is a book that all thinking Christians should read.

| 12. |  | Jewish Living: A Guide to Contemporary Reform Practice from Urj Press Price: $11.96 Customer Review:  To be honest, I have only just begun to read this book. On first glance at the table of context you see that Washofsky intends to fit as much as possible into one volume, which was the reason for my purchase.
