For me the book defines what it means to love G-d and subsequently how to love others. To quote a small section of the jacket that stood out, "Vast in scope, this volume distills more than three thousand years of Jewish laws and suggestions on how to improve one's character and become more honest, decent, and just."
That sounds good. I just ordered it, it will probably be here by the middle of April. Thanks for this title. Haven't read many books in English and hope I will understand.
Your English is very good and from that, what I've read, you should be able to understand the book. I'm glad you purchased it and I know you won't be disappointed. What I've found to be so helpful with the stories and lessons, and they are kept relatively short, is that he draws from every moral dilemma and human emotion you can imagine and answers with the essence of Judaism. A book for contemporary times. A book for today with the wisdom of Judaism. I hope you'll love it as much as I do.
