Let one of the great teachers of our time take you on a historical and spiritual journey through Judaism. Judaism itself is a language, a group's way of expressing beliefs, longings, aspirations and dreams. The vocabulary of Jewish life is the framework that we use to hand our past onto our children. It is also the vocabulary that people of other faiths need to know to understand Judaism and Jewish life. In this highly readable, enlightening and entertaining book, Jews and non-Jews alike can learn more about the meaning, history and origin of the core Hebrew words that are shared and understood throughout the Jewish world and why it is important for people to know and use these words in Hebrew.
