Jewish Literacy Revised Ed

Influential author and speaker Rabbi Joseph Telushkin’s Jewish Literacy has been hailed by Jewish leaders as “the ideal introduction to Judaism” for Jews and non-Jews alike. Covering every essential aspect of Jewish history and life, from the Torah to Zionism to modern American Jewish culture, Jewish Literacy provides a comprehensive yet thoroughly accessible resource for anyone interested in learning the fundamentals of Judaism. Both the perfect gift and an invaluable reference, this treasury of Jewish history, culture, traditions, and wisdom is a book that no Jewish person should be without. Rabbi Joseph Telushkin is the author of many influential Jewish books, including The Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism (with Dennis Prager), Why the Jews? The Reason for Anti-Semitism (with Dennis Prager), and Jewish Wisdom, as well as several novels. A frequent speaker on Jewish issues, Rabbi Telushkin was ordained at Yeshiva University and pursued graduate studies at Columbia University. “An immense amount of information in a small space, with clarity, fairness, and a touch of humor.” -Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People
