5.0 out of 5 stars
Superbly written, organized, and illustrated,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Jewish Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
Compiled and edited by David Bridger (with the assistance of Samuel Wolk), The New Jewish Encyclopedia presents an comprehensive and alphabetical discussion of topics, places, names, and events central to Jewish history and identity. Offering a library's worth of Jewish knowledge in a single, 541-page volume, The New Jewish Encyclopedia is superbly written, organized, and illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Presenting a vast wealth of history, folklore, and faith, The New Jewish Encyclopedia is a core addition to personal and academic Judaic Studies reference collections.

This review is from: The New Jewish Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
I bought this for someone else because I have a copy and I love it. This book is for dipping into when you have a question. It's written by Jewish scholars for the average person.
