This review is from: Think Jewish: A Contemporary View of Judaism, a Jewish View of Today's World (Hardcover)

For those of us with questions about Judaism, this book goes a long to answering issues that people have. Speaking for myself, I found it very reassuring. Things sometimes become fuzzy as a person progressing through life, it's good to know that there are people out there who seem to have retained a crystal clear perspective of the world.

The Rabbi is an emissary of Chabad-Lubavitch, under the direction of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. As such, he also discusses some of the fundamental beliefs of this vastly influential movement. Buying this book and "The Rebbe's Army" is also a good idea for those interested.
