Synopsis
An open door for all of us who want to deepen our Jewish commitment; but don't know how or where to begin. From lighting Shabbat candles to spending a night in a homeless shelter, this guide to Jewish living presents simple steps to incorporate the rich tradition of Jewish values into everyday life. Each chapter focuses on one mitzvah--both its traditional and contemporary significance--plus ways to put the mitzvah into practice. Addressing ritual-based and social-action mitzvot, this book offers a wealth of opportunities to grow Jewishly.
Discovering ways to practice Judaism every day can change our lives. Here is the book to begin the journey. It's a Mitzvah! is a rare commodity: a practical book to change your spiritual life. Rabbi Artson provides everything we need to begin and sustain a religious journey. This is a marvelous book written by a teacher who deeply understands not only the Jewish tradition, but the needs of those exploring this ancient wisdom and rich heritage.

Reviews
It's A Mitzvah is this year's Apple of Jewish books: clean, well-conceived and as user-friendly as a Mac. Artson's primary focus is not on the why but the how of being Jewish. Laid out in a highly graphic style full of sidebars and photos, the book offers readers clear ideas on how to begin or increase Jewish observance.
