Living a Jewish Life

Jewish Traditions, Customs, and Values for Today's Families, Updated and Revised Edition

By: Anita Diamant, Howard Cooper

Narrated by: Dina Pearlman

The classic guide to the cultural and spiritual treasures of Judaism is now updated for the first time in fifteen years to reflect changes in the modern Jewish community.

Living a Jewish Life describes Judaism as not just a contemplative or abstract system of thought but as a blueprint for living fully and honorably. This new edition builds on the classic guide, which has been a favorite among Jewish educators and students for years. Enriched with additional resources, including online resources, this updated guide also references recent changes in the modern Jewish community.

Addressing the choices posed by the modern world, Living a Jewish Life explains the traditions and beliefs of Judaism in the context of real life. It explores the spectrum of liberal Jewish thought, from Conservative to Reconstructionist to Reform, as well as unaffiliated, new age, and secular. Celebrating the diversity of Jewish beliefs, this guide provides a wealth of information that allows listeners to make informed choices about how to incorporate Judaism into their lives.

An excellent book with a plethora of information. A nice narration as well. Thank you.

I am in the early stages of converting to Judaism and this book was incredibly informative and helped take some of the mystery and stress out of finding information.
