This review is from: Memorable Quotations: Jewish Writers of the Past (Paperback)

I love books of quotations, and especially books of Jewish quotations. This one has many fine and interesting things in it, but I wish it had more Jewish religious content. Most of those cited here are assimilated Jews without deep knowledge of the Jewish religious tradition.
