#1 Recommended Books

Submitted by Alan Ross on Fri, 01/20/2012 - 16:07.

I just wanted to post that I received "These are the Words" based on Rabbi Helen's recommendation, and it looks like a great book to have as a reference from the cursory look that I took. I had previously purchased "A Book of Life," but haven't had a chance to start it yet. The book recommendations are really appreciated, as there are countless books out there, and these books seem to get to the essence of Judaism.

#2 Thanks!

I've added The Sabbath, by Abraham Joshua Heschel, and These Are the Names, by Arthur Green.

I notice that there is a new "2nd Edition, Revised and Expanded" of These Are the Names coming out in March. Oh well!

Helen
