I enjoyed the narration by Eli Wallach. I have watched every movie and TV show he was in since childhood. May he rest in peace.

The answers to my many questions were answered.

This book answers many questions that even Jewish people may not know! I didn’t! Looking forward to version two.

Good book

If you're a considering conversion, or questioning the reasons for certain traditions, this is a wonderful book. It's broken down into very thoroughly discussed sections such as marriage, kosher diet, and Jewish holidays.
Some topics are covered multiple times in different sections, which is a bit repetitive, but overall it's a very informative listen.
