De: Joseph Telushkin

Narrado por: Josh Bloomberg

Widely recognized as one of the most respected and indispensable reference books on Jewish life, culture, tradition, and religion, Jewish Literacy covers every essential aspect of the Jewish people and Judaism. Rabbi Telushkin discusses everything from the Jewish Bible and Talmud to Jewish notions of ethics to antisemitism and the Holocaust; from the history of Jews around the world to Zionism and the politics of a Jewish state; from the significance of religious traditions and holidays to how they are practiced in daily life. Whether you want to know more about Judaism in general or have specific questions you'd like answered, Jewish Literacy is sure to contain the information you need.

Rabbi Telushkin's expert knowledge of Judaism makes the updated and revised edition of Jewish Literacy an invaluable reference. A comprehensive yet thoroughly accessible resource for anyone interested in learning the fundamentals of Judaism, Jewish Literacy is a must for every Jewish home.

Excellent resource

Great deal of information on the topic. Very educational and enlightening. Enjoyed the journey through and learned a great deal.

Very informative!

As a converting jew, this book is invaluable. I also bought this book hardcover as the index and glossary is a wealth of information. If you're interested in jewish history, law, rituals, this book will tell you SO much.

Pronunciation poor

Poor pronunciation by non Jewish speaker

Super collection of history stories. Listen learn about Jewish history.

Amazing

Possibly the most comprehensive work on Jewish history, belief, and culture. Written in short, focused chapters so you can either read straight through it or just read the parts you’re most interested in learning about.

A Stunning Achievement

This is, hands-down, one of the best Audible books I've ever purchased. Given that I've downloaded 173 books, that's saying something.

Absolutely fascinating topics, brilliantly written and wonderfully narrated. This is a winner in every way! And I'm not even Jewish!
