| 8. |  | Essential Judaism: A Complete Guide to Beliefs, Customs & Rituals from Atria Price: $13.60 Customer Review: Robinson tries to provide a comprehensive introduction to Judaism. It's very strong on the Jewish prayer services, the content of Tanakh, and the highlights of Jewish intellectual history and the Kabbalah. Not as strong on the holidays and life cycle events. Nu... who's perfect?! |

Thus, this is not a book for Christian fundamentalists or observant Jews, but for people... |
