A Quick and Enjoyable Read

Perhaps like you, I have always wondered what makes something Kosher. I chose this book from a non-Jewish perspective. I really liked how this book was divided into sections such as Business Practices, Arguing with Others, Righteous Giving, Commitments, Animals, and so much more. I didn't realize that Kosher was something more than the food that you ate. The book is broken down into a variety of chapters. Each chapter asks several common questions that you may already have, and answers them. Then the book goes over things that would not be Kosher in a particular circumstance. The chapter finishes with referces from a variety of sources such as the Bible, the Talmud, and much more. While this book may not be the complete and definitive resource on whether all things are Kosher or not, I think this book will provide most with a great deal of information on what may be Kosher. I really liked reading this book because it gave me a greater knowledge and more respect on what may or may not be Kosher.
