Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism Tekijä: Dennis Prager
Excellent basic book to learn about Judaism. Prager and Telushkin, childhood friends collaborated on this book over 40 years ago. It still stands as an excellent resource. Not only did I learn facts about being Jewish, I learned truth about how to think about life itself and how to think about transmitting your own values to the next generation.
Prager has a fresh perspective on the Bible that comes through frequently. His scholarship goes to different sources than I have access to and thus he brings both his Jewish perspective and his wide reading and thought out to the light of day. I am always benefited by reading or hearing from him. He always has a valuable contribution to give.
Excellent book. As other reviewers have commented, this is a sharp, rational, and precise critique of leftism, its inherent flaws, and the danger it poses to the American way of life.
Unfortunately, the very individuals who need to read and understand this book are the most likely to dismiss it out-of-hand

The first chapter/question is a must read for many people. However, the rest of the book is not as intelligently laid out as promised. In addition, I found myself quickly skipping pages or even entire sections due to deep philosophical disagreements: setting aside the obvious slant of orthodox Judaism and right-wing politics (which I can appreciate even if I disagree), I could not bear to read about the moral superiority of Judaism. Is this not the stuff of wars? Can be likened to Arianism? Perhaps I am too liberal with my belief that no group can call oneself superior, but I do believe the authors require a lesson in humility. I would be ashamed to present this book as representative of my views… (lisätietoja)
