This review is from: The New Standard Jewish Encyclopedia (Revised) (Hardcover)
The New Standard Jewish Encyclopedia, 7th edition, is an ideal handbook for the student of Judaism. Under the editorial hand of Geoffrey Wigoder in Jerusalem it has been compiled with contributions from many hundreds of Jewish scholars from throughout the Jewish world. In a single, very portable volume, it covers everything from mysticism to contemporary Jewish authors, from cookery to historical figures. It is an enormous achievement and an invaluable aide to the researcher and the casual reader. The ample illustrations are an added bonus.

By Notnadia (Currently upstairs.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Standard Jewish Encyclopedia (Revised) (Hardcover)
Listed in A-Z encyclopedia format, this book has thousands of entries that collectively define and describe Judaism, past and present. Well written, concise, balances maximizing its informative tone with staying readable. Not over the average person's head at all. A very good reference volume. Worth owning by anyone.
