Meer over het boek

"The origins of the Jewish faith stretch back more than 4,000 years. Judaism was the first of the world s great monotheistic religions, and its code of laws and ethics have had a great influence on western civilization. The global Jewish population is about 14 million, with most Jews living either in the State of Israel or in the United States. This book explores the history, beliefs, and practices of Judaism, examining the differences between three branches of the faith (Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform) that have emerged in the past two centuries" -- provided by publisher
