Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"From the Sabbath to circumcision, from Hanukkah to the Holocaust, from bar mitzvah to bagel, how do Jewish religion, history, holidays, lifestyles, and culture make Jews different, and why is that difference so distinctive that we carry it from birth to the grave?" This accessible introduction to Judaism and Jewish life is especially for Christian readers interested in the deep connections and distinct differences between their faith and Judaism, but it is also for Jews looking for ways to understand their religion--and explain it to others. First released in 2002 and now in an updated edition.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
"What I wish my Christian friends knew about Judaism describes everything the curious Christian might want to know about the Jewish faith--What do Christianity and Judaism have in common? Why and how are Jewish holidays celebrated? Is this food Kosher?--and with enough with and detail to entertain both Jews and those already familiar with Judaism."--Back cover.
