5.0 out of 5 stars An indispensable resource , October 30, 2004

By	Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

Judaica is an indispensable resource for anyone wishing to study Jewish communal and historical life. Its articles are written most often by the most important scholars in the field. Out of Judaica came a wonderful series of books published by Keter, and drawn from their longer entries. Other works also came out of it such as Gavriel Sivan's 'The Bible and Civilization'.
The Judaica too had for many years a Yearbook in which it added entries and updated others. Every major Jewish Library in the world has Judaica .
As a long - time reader of Judaica I can attest to another pleasure it gives. Simply begin reading anywhere and continue and you will learn a great deal about the Jewish experience that you did not know before.
A great work and until superseded the best Encyclopedia on the Jewish experience that there is.

By	Joseph Ellis (United States) - See all my reviews

This eighteen volume set is a must have for any scholar serious about the Hebrew Scriptures. This set consists of in depth articles on all subjects within the Hebrew Scriptures as well as Jewish holidays and Jewish teachings. Really an excellent work.
