How to Run a Traditional Jewish Household

ISBN0671602705
Truthfully, in spite of all the parts of this book I just don't agree with (namely: she's a bit heavy handed with lumping Conservative/Reform/Reconstructionist together, she calls herself a feminist but doesn't show it in her writing except in passive agressive comments here and there, the book is...

The subject is Jewish feminism, but the book's relevance doesn't end there.

The Jewish Book of Why
AuthorAlfred J. Kolatch

Jewish With Feeling: A Guide to Meaningful Jewish Practice
AuthorZalman Schachter-Shalomi
ISBN1594481806
My biggest "beef" with the book is that it's not what I thought it was. It describes itself as "a guide to meaningful Jewish practice," but it's really an Introduction to Judaism book. It's not a tool for people already Jewishly-committed to deepen their practice. I was let down, but the first couple of...
