Customer Reviews

Melds the spiritual with the factual and history with myth.

The Judaic Tradition was given to me by my father when at the age of 40 I decided I wanted to know more about my heritage. I have never been very religious, but have always been proud of being a Jew. I am a CPA and therefore approach things from a factual basis. Logic has a lot to do with me being able to accept or believe. This book explains to my satisfaction the basis for our history and beliefs. It goes beyond the theological basis for our holidays and dogmas. It explains, as accurately as possible, the basis for our beliefs and the provides a groundwork for understanding.It isn't all just a coincidence.
