About this title

Synopsis

Fifteen hundred specially commissioned articles cover Jewish history and culture, including festivals, rituals, important individuals of the past, and prominent synagogues

Reviews

This one-volume work resembles the Encyclopedia of Judaica in format and approach: it has double-columned heavy stock pages, color illustrations, and an informed traditionalist outlook. It does raise issues that the Encyclopedia of Judaica , written nearly 20 years ago, could not address (for example, the ordination of women as rabbis). A nice feature of this new work is the highlighted sidebars of rabbinic and folkloric sayings, such as "Small children can disturb your sleep, big ones your life." Libraries strapped for funds should probably purchase a different sort of reference work first-- The Blackwell Companion to Jewish Culture ( LJ 11/1/90)--which might have a wider general interest. Still, this book is recommended for eventual purchase (even for those libraries that have the Encyclopedia of Judaica ), as it is an excellent, up-to-date, one-volume source on the Jewish religion.

Store Description

3,000 sq ft 35,000 + books mostly out of print, rare, many foreign language. especially strong in NATIVE AMERICA, WESTERN AMERICANA,SCIENCE, TECHNICAL,ART. Been here 30+. No international orders please too many scammers (Australians) and constantly changing rules and people in Germany complaining and adding weird new hoops (Extended Producer Responsibility) to jump through. Every country wants it's own tax form and tax ID and and VAT Number and IOSS ID or countless other acronyms that change weeksly and it's not worth it for us sorry.
