The Torah for Dummies

By: Arthur Kurzweil

Narrated by: Steven Jay Cohen

An easy-to-understand introduction to Judaism's most sacred text

The foundation of Hebrew and Jewish religion, thought, law, and society is the Torah - the parchment scroll containing the text of the Five Books of Moses that is located in every synagogue. This accessible guide explains the Torah in clear language, even to those who were not raised in the Jewish religious tradition. Christians who want to know more about the Jewish roots of Christianity need to understand the Torah, as do followers of Islamic tradition and those interested in the roots of Abrahamic faiths. The Torah For Dummies explains the history of the Torah, its structure and major principles, and how the Torah affects the daily lives of people who follow the Jewish way of life.

Review

Excellent — thorough and humorous — an easy but informative audiobook. Would definitely listen to another audiobook by this author.

very interesting

wanted to learn about the Jewish culture. this one had the best overview on things. never boring. thanks

Good, but…sounds like a machine reading

The contents are very enlightening and encompassing. Only the reading was dull and monochromatic. But I have listened it till the end.

Excellent

I enjoyed learning more about Judaism. The voice in this audiobook makes learning it and understand it better.
