Enthusiastic Guide to Intelligent Judaism

Unlike many "guide to Judaism" books, Boteach doesn't mince words and he doesn't oversimplify. Despite this, he manages to clarify and elucidate many key Jewish concepts and introduce new ideas that should make any "intelligent person" sit up and listen; ideas that few Orthodox rabbis are espousing these days, like seriously getting to know people of other religions and learning about their beliefs.What this book lacks in organization and consistency among the various chapters' subject matter, it makes up for in enthusiasm. Boteach's feeling for Judaism runs deep, and it shows. If you're enthusiastic about Judaism, too, grab a copy of this book and dig in.
