| Review # 1 was written on 2014-02-08 00:00:00 Bryan L Mon This is the type of book one would love to share with secular Jewish friends. With an almost whimsical style, Rabbi Feldman and his hypothetical David explore many facets of Judaism. They explore different concepts, both philosophical and observance related. David is a man with many questions about the religion of his birth, and typically, has only marginal familiarity with both its history, observances and most of all, meaning. Rabbi Feldman patiently takes the time to fully clarify each step of their journey. It is worth noting that as a pulpit rabbi with many years experience building up both a synagogue and Jewish community in Atlanta, this book is no doubt based on his actual conversations and experiences with congregants. The lack of a 5th Star is sort of personal - I didn’t feel that I could just sit and continue reading for long periods, but rather a chapter a day. While it’s a highly readable book, it takes time to absorb so much information at once. |

If you are unfortunate enough to suffer a bereavement, seek it out from your Synagogue library or order it to read. I'm so glad I did! We were initially lent a copy by Rabbi Michoel Rose in Cardiff and referred to it constantly in the run up to Mummy's funeral and the first night of Shiva. When we got back to London, our Shul only had one copy, so I ordered mine online from "Torah Treasures" in. Golders Green as they were cheaper than Amazon for this US import. |
