This is basically a parenting book designed for Jewish parents who don't want to be too Jewish, but just want a little Judaism in their life and a way to pass on the spirit of the religion to their offspring. There are some good ideas, and some interesting thoughts, but the overall impression is not one of someone who knows what he is talking about. There's a good reason for that: the author himself is not a parent (or at least wasn't when the book was written), and uses his friends' ideas, many of which contradict each other. It is pretty common for a chapter to include advice like this: "You could try doing this...But if that doesn't work you should try doing it the opposite way and seeing if that works."

For a self-published parenting book written by someone who isn't a parent the book is well-done.

This book is an excellent attempt to get people to return to Judiasm. Has many excellent step-by-step ideas. The book is well written&includes alot of interesting stories. Follow this book& you will find Judiasm VERY meaningful as do I.
