Description: Judaism has existed for thousands of years, predating Christianity and Islam, and yet many people have little idea of what it stands for or how it is practiced -- including some Jewish people! Now, the wise Rabbi Benjamin Blech changes all that with The Complete Idiot's Guide to Judaism, a substantive one-volume education for anyone who's ever pondered the difference between the Talmud and the Torah; Rosh Hashana and Yore Kippur; and among Hasidism, Orthodox, Conservatism, and Reform Judaism. Readers learn what Jews believe; what the special holidays are and how they're celebrated; the special blessings and the laws of kashruth; what the Torah says; and the significance of a bris, a bar (bat) mitzvah, and a mikvah. The perfect book for oneself or to give to a loved one as a mitzvah.
