Judaism: An Introduction (Teach Yourself)

Assuming no prior knowledge of Judaism, this guide delves into its roots and development, considers the practicalities of pursuing a Jewish way of life, and ensures that readers quickly have a thorough understanding of the beliefs and practices of this major world religion. It covers Orthodox and Non-Orthodox Judaism, food laws, Jewish education, marriage, prayer, the synagogue, the Sabbath, the Talmud, the holidays, and the increasingly high-profile Kabbalah.
