Excellent resource
By JA in NJ on April 15, 2008
Format: Hardcover
Daniel Sperber is probably the world's foremost expert on the history of Jewish customs. The previous reviewer's comments are inexplicable -- please ignore them.

Robert Gamer
By Robert Gamer on May 5, 2008
Format: Hardcover
Rabbi Dr. Daniel Sperber is an Israel Prize laureate for his talmudic research. His also the president of the Institute of Advanced Torah Studies at Bar-Ilan University. Certainly not "high school" essays.

By Amazon Customer on January 19, 2006
Format: Hardcover
Sperber writes high school essays about Jewish topics. This book is a waste of time and money.
