Customer Reviews

Light and Breezy Judaism

Rabbi Tufts makes it easy to be Jewish. This book makes me feel good about being a liberal Jew. It seems to me that the G-d wants us to be inventivee and creative. Tufts is a warm and gentle human being. The Paul Palnik drawings are interesting and happy. This is not a dotti (orthodox) approach to Judaism. That is why I like it. My brother likes it too.

Modern Religion in America

This book was read as a religious school assignment by my whole class. We loved the quirky and delightful drawings and our group particularly liked the illustration of a rabbi flying off the page and out of the book. The author's suggestions on what it means to be a spiritual person are interesting and enlightening. Rabbi Tufts seems to encourage an almost effeminate approach to male spirituality that several of us found disturbing. Our class discussed the difference between accepting the femenine side to our male personalities and becoming a whimp. This book sparked much discussion and debate. Our religious studies class was not boring for a change.

Creative excellence in spiritual communication

This book is well written but what really makes it a modern classic is the art. ENORMOUSLY INVENTIVE AND UNIQUE drawings make this book a delight. A good book to discuss with young people.Each drawing must be studied to be appreciated.
