5.0 out of 5 stars
Extraordinary work, explaining the real meaning of Judaism,
By tom.vene@uol.com.br (Sao Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Explaining Reform Judaism (Paperback)
I borrowed this book in a public library. Had no big hopes, but was curious. How wrong I was. I practically devoured it after reading a few pages. Rabbi Borowitz has the special talent of knowing how to explain in simple words very complicated philosophical concepts of Judaism. Besides he does it in such a candid manner that my eyes went wet several times. Believe me, if you want your child to understand the essence of Judaism, this the book to give him/her as a gift. The title is a bit misleading, no matter which is your denomination - Reform, Conservative or Orthodox, even if Christian, this book will bring you the warmth of real "menchlichkeit" - how to become a decent human being.

3.0 out of 5 stars
On liberal judaism....,
By Samuel (Long Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Explaining Reform Judaism (Paperback)
Though it is a short book, it gives one a good description of Reform Judaism. This book shows the evolution of this form of Judaism and how many times it's changed. Sadly enough, though, it paints the picture of a confused religious view that lacks consistency. This book would arouse one to possibly explore their cultural and political associations, but lack a lot on the spiritual side.
