4.0 out of 5 stars Well, 3.5 stars, rounded up..., April 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Gates of Mitzvah: Shaarei Mitzvah: A Guide to the Jewish Life Cycle (Paperback)

"Gates of Mitzvah" proves that Reform Jews were talking about mitzvot long before the "Pittsburgh Principles" were written. This book is a nice introduction and reference volume outlining the most common mitzvot in the Jewish lifecycle, such as brit, bar mitzvah, putting up a mezzuzah, get, etc. The most interesting reading comes at the end of the book, where several essays are presented which discuss the role of mitzvot in the lives of liberal Jews. This is only an introductory volume of course, and anyone who wants the mitzvot to play a more important role in their lives will quickly outgrow it.
