| 2. |  | The New Jewish Wedding, Revised from Scribner Price: $10.20 Customer Review: I gave this to my neice who is wanting a Jewish wedding and I used it for my own (neither of us were born Jewish).

| 3. |  | The Saturday Wife from St. Martin's Press Price: $16.47 Customer Review:  This is a good fictional read but it is highly unreflective of real-life orthodox life. The events in this book would hardly ever happen and the book itself gives the wrong picture of what is a much more beautiful way of life where women aren't treated the way they are reflected in this book. |
