| 2. |  | When Bad Things Happen to Good People from Schocken Price: $12.67 Customer Review: First read this many years ago. Ordered several to give to friends who are facing troubling issues and questioning God's place in their lives. Kushner's explanations make such good sense to me. I highly recommend reading this again and again. |

| 3. |  | Overcoming Life's Disappointments from Anchor Price: $8.21 Customer Review: This book is written with the aim of helping those disappointed by life. It relates many contemporary cases and instances but its major model story is the story of Moses who after for forty years leading the people of Israel through the desert towards the Promised Land is denied entry into it. This... |

| 5. |  | Thou Shall Prosper: Ten Commandments for Making Money from Wiley Price: $14.60 Customer Review: Every once in a great while I stumble across a book that I love so well I purposely read it very slowly to enjoy the message and the teaching presented. I read a page, set the book down and think, read a little more etc. What a fantastic book this is! The subtitle is not the best, as the book... |

| 6. |  | Complete Dead Sea Scrolls from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $7.99 Customer Review:  I just bought this edition Feb 2010. As useful as the book might yet be, Vermes and his reviewers seem to have inadvertently omitted: 4Q387a Pseudo-Moses^b, 4Q388a Pseudo-Moses^c, 4Q389 Pseudo-Moses^d They are listed in the scroll catalogue but do not appear where the... |

| 7. | [no image] | A Family Haggadah II from Kar-Ben Publishing Price: $5.08 Customer Review: We were looking for a family haggadah that covers everything but doesn't take all night. This one fits the bill nicely. Good illustrations to boot. Pass the matzah! |

| 8. | [no image] | Why Are Jews Liberals? (Vintage) from Vintage Price: $10.80 Customer Review:  Why are Jews Liberal? "Why is the Pope Catholic?" was my thought as I began the book. Mr. Podhoretz, in the rather academic, rabbinical tradition of arguing the ancient Torah, points out that most American Jews are nonpracticing and now live by the "Torah of Liberalism" without examining the reality... |

| 9. | [no image] | Tanakh: A New Translation of the Holy Scriptures According to the Traditional Hebrew Text (White Leatherette Boxed #669) from Jewish Pubn Society Customer Review: Although this is a paperback volume, it's well crafted and intended for long life. This is labeled "The Jewish Bible", but it is in essence, the Old Testament, the core of my Christian belief. With 1600 pages, I don't think I'll read it cover to cover, but it is very readable and I do enjoy... |

| 10. |  | Survival In Auschwitz from www.bnpublishing.com Price: $12.41 Customer Review: For historians who represent the past, and for authors such as Mr. Levi, the greatest fear about history is society forgetting integral parts of its existence. I won't forget it. His story is significant so please read this book. First, my words bow to the author with the deepest respect.... |

| 11. |  | Richard Codor's Joyous Haggadah:A Children and Family Cartoon Haggadah for Passover Seder from Loose Line Productions, Inc. Price: $8.58 Customer Review: I enjoy seders which not only tell the story of passover, but provide "food for thought" by raising important, current and timely issues. But then all my friends started having kids. How to engage the little ones without boring them (and creating cranky seder guests) while still telling the story in... |

| 12. |  | Sammy Spider's First Haggadah (Passover) from Kar-Ben Publishing Price: $2.86 Customer Review: We used this seder for our family this year, because we wanted to make it fun and meaningful for a "diverse" group-grandparents,parents and children ages-eight, five, 20 months and 2 months (of course the 2 month old was not an "issue" for this decision).The eight year old and five year old... |

| 14. |  | Our Father Abraham: Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith from Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company Price: $13.63 Customer Review: The book was delivered on time and having briefly scanned it I find it to be very informative and it makes me think. The only problem I have with its delivery it was placed in a box to big for it. |

| 16. |  | The Lord Is My Shepherd: Healing Wisdom of the Twenty-third Psalm from Random House Audio Price: $34.90 Customer Review: A book to cling to. Religious or not, Christian or Jew, young or old, healthy or sick, everyone needs the Lord to be their shepherd at some point in their lives whether it's realized or not. Kushner doesn't dwell on bad experiences, on sickness, nor on tragedy. Instead, he offers hope for all people... |

| 17. |  | The New Jewish Wedding, Revised from Scribner Price: $3.00 Customer Review: I read so many great reviews and just didn't find it that fascinating or original! Be creative and come up with some of your own ideas...that's what I'm doing! |

| 19. |  | The Jewish Study Bible: featuring The Jewish Publication Society TANAKH Translation from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $24.48 Customer Review: The book was in excellent condition, but the shipping took too long. It took two weeks to receive the package. I had to drop the class because I didn't receive the book on time. |

| 21. |  | The Sabbath from Farrar Straus Giroux Price: $4.69 Customer Review: I don't write reviews, I read them. However, I felt strongly compelled to give my opinion on this one. This is without a doubt the best book I have ever read. I am rating it entirely on the impression it left me with, the feelings it gave me and how I've spent quite a number of days since... |

| 22. |  | The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts from Free Press Price: $6.99 Customer Review: Super informative, well-written, and logically put together. Blows the Old Testament myths right out of the water by way of archaeological evidence--or lack thereof. If you had the sneaking suspicion that much of the Bible was imaginative story-telling, this book will confirm your suspicions; not... |

| 23. |  | Choosing a Jewish Life: A Handbook for People Converting to Judaism and for Their Family and Friends from Schocken Price: $9.99 Customer Review: As mentioned in some other reviews, this book is an excellent source for those interested in REFORM Judaism, not Orthodox, and is especially geared toward those converting because of a relationship. It is beautifully written and made me feel that I could be loved and accepted for a vast variety of... |

| 24. |  | Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews: A History from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Price: $8.50 Customer Review:  Constantine's Sword is a disappointing book. I was expecting a sprawling saga of the history of anti-semitism in the Catholic Church, but instead got the author's diary. There a too many personal anecdotal stories in the text. Everytime I was getting interested in what he was saying he told a story... |

Rodkinson (V.3-4 ) (1896-1903) from Cornell University Library Price: $26.99 Customer Review: It took hundreds of years to think, to write, to comment, so can we have a break here. On the other hand, it is so great to have onb my Kindle, I will never run out of reading material again when traveling! |

| 26. |  | Hebrew-English Tanakh Student Edition from Jewish Publication Society of America Price: $24.99 Customer Review: This Bible is incredible and easy to maneuver, because it has English right next to the Hebrew text. When translating, you can see how it's done right away, and compare to your own translations. Reading the Bible and studying Hebrew is fun and should be considered an important part of Today's... |

Beside contemporary historical and political questions and thoughts Einstein gives account about his scientific work and its embedding into the social context. Einstein belongs to the people, who deserve it to be... |

| 28. |  | The SCIENCE OF GOD from Free Press Price: $21.00 Customer Review: This was one of the best books on the compatability of science and religion I have read -- to the point that I was moved to send a copy to my skeptical friend for Christmas as well. The book is excellent precisely, as the author writes, because a Science 101 preacher was not attempting to... |

| 29. |  | Essential Judaism: A Complete Guide to Beliefs, Customs & Rituals from Atria Price: $10.92 Customer Review: Judaism is Judaism, we don't change anything, our belief's are firm and sacred. I wanted to share some basic information with a friend, thank you. |

| 30. |  | The Misunderstood Jew: The Church and the Scandal of the Jewish Jesus from HarperOne Price: $3.83 Customer Review: Amy-Jill Levine's The Misunderstood Jew is a worthwhile read, although one that is bound to discomfort many of its readers. It is also a book that boasts a title that does not fully do justice to its theme. Yes: the book includes Levine's attempt at providing a thoroughly Jewish portrait of the... |

| 31. | [no image] | Who Wrote the Bible? from Jonathan Cape Customer Review: Friedman talks a lot but proves nothing. He "OBVIOUSLY" believes that the events in the Hebrew bible are for the most part fiction and written by different people for nation building & political propaganda. Bottom line, there are many more who disagree with him than those who think like him. He... |
