To Be a Jew : A Guide to Jewish Observance in Contemporary Life

Overview
Commentary
Universally recognized as the classic primer for Jewish customs, traditions, and philosophy, TO BE A JEW is necessary reading for anyone interested in Judaism as it is truly lived. Originally published in 1973, this guide contains pertinent information about the philosophical underpinnings of the faith, and then applies these to specific laws and acts. Rabbi Hayim Halevy Donin gives clear instructions about how to prepare for and observe the Sabbath, how to celebrate specific holidays, milestones, and special occasions, how to behave in a synagogue, and how to observe dietary laws. Most importantly, he never gets lost in the details--all instructions are infused with an understanding of the love and spiritual guidance behind every action.

Publisher's Notes
"For a general discussion of Jewish living, To Be a Jewis unexcelled. It is comprehensive and clear."--The Book of Jewish Books, by Ruth Frank and William Wollheim

This unique treasury of practical information and daily inspiration has long been acknowledged as the classic guide to the traditional Jewish laws and customs as they apply to contemporary Jewish daily life. Features a new introduction by Dr. Norman Lamm, President, Yeshiva University.
