1.		Foreskin's Lament: A Memoir from Penguin Audio Price: $26.56 Customer Review: Yes, this book was mildly amusing. But I bought it expecting much more. I expected an insightful look into the ultra-Orthodox community and into the author and his family. What I got was no more than a long newspaper article with a few laughs. Or maybe an outline for a longer, truer look into the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Battle for God from Knopf Price: $25.55 Customer Review: Fundamentaly flawed. Armstrong makes demonstrably false claims such as "Paul never claimed Christ was God" or "Christ never said he was God". She never deals with the fact the Christ claimed--humbly--to both "Son of God" AND "Son of Man" (Daniel),the Messiah. If you read this book, read also the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		Mudhouse Sabbath: An Invitation to a Life of Spiritual Disciplines (Pocket Classics) from Paraclete Press (MA) Price: $10.17 Customer Review: I've just finished Mudhouse Sabbath: An Invitation to a Life of Spiritual Discipline by Lauren Winner. I confess, I bought the book in the name of the author only, I knew nothing about Mudhouses nor was I craving a more disciplined life. Good thing, too, the book mentioned the former only once and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		ORTHODOXY from NuVision Publications Price: $9.59 Customer Review: ORTHODOXYOrthodoxy If you enjoy mental gymnastics along with your Christian education, you will love this book. It is full of quotable lines, clever insights and more mental switchbacks than you will find in any other writer.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Climbing Jacob's Ladder: One Man's Journey to Rediscover a Jewish Spiritual Tradition from Trumpeter Price: $10.17 Customer Review: This is one of those books you look for to guide you down the true path to correct worship of The Most High. If you have ever asked,"Is this it,is this all there is", this is a book for you.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Unchosen: The Hidden Lives of Hasidic Rebels from Beacon Press Price: $10.88 Customer Review: I enjoyed it. And not just because my sister wrote it. For the detractors: 1) It shouldn't threaten you. Virtually every group has its defectors at one time or another (it doesn't mean that the "rebels" are renouncing Hasidism; its structure may be too rigid for them for the time being).... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		The Rebbe's Army: Inside the World of Chabad-Lubavitch from Schocken Price: $11.20 Customer Review: Sue Fishkoff, a journalist, has written a sympathetic but not sycophantic introduction to the Chabad Lubavitch Movement. She does this by describing her visits to and interactions with various Chabad families, reporting their anecdotes, and even providing some hard data. She writes so well that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Legend of the Baal-Shem from Princeton University Press Price: $13.57 Customer Review: I was originally drawn to Judaism by Martin Buber's wonderful "Tales of the Hasidim" (which has a good section on the Baal Shem Tov). But Buber disavowed his earlier "Legend of the Baal Shem" because it was too flowery and departed too far from the original material; it is also only a mere snippet... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Saul Lieberman and the Orthodox from University of Scranton Press Price: $6.00 Customer Review: Mainly, Shapiro's focus is on the history of the relationship of the general Orthodox leadership--i.e. The Council of Torah Sages (Moetzei Gedolei haTorah), Rabbinical Council of America, and The Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada(Agudas haRabonim)--with Orthodox rabbis who... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.	[no image]	Between the Yeshiva World and Modern Orthodoxy: The Life and Works of Rabbi Jehiel Jacob Weinberg, 1884-1966 from Littman Library of Jewish Customer Review: A welcome addition as opposed to the countless hagiographa out there, yet still biased. To call Weinberg "modern orthodox" is almost laughable-a worldly Orthodox Scholar, yes, but not modern orthodox as the term is widely understood.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Feminism Encounters Traditional Judaism: Resistance and Accommodation (Hbi Series on Jewish Women) from Brandeis Price: $17.95 Customer Review: This book is a gift to lovers of Torah and critical thinkers. Hartman combines an insightful use of feminist thought and a commitment to traditional Judaism to provide readers with a bold and sensitive understanding of important forces shaping Judaism today. I found all the chapters illuminating.... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Mystics, Mavericks, and Merrymakers: An Intimate Journey among Hasidic Girls from NYU Press Price: $18.00 Customer Review: This was such a wonderful eye-opening book about the variety of girls in the Lubavitch community in Crown Heights. This book breaks the stereotype that says that girls from very religious families become "drone-like" or don't have their individuality. Within their very prescribed world, because of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Gateway to Judaism: The What, How, And Why of Jewish Life from Mesorah Publications, Limited Price: $19.79 Customer Review: After having read Judaism for Dummies [[ASIN:0764552996 Judaism for Dummies] the next logical step was to gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Gateway to Judaism provides just that. Whether read on it's on, or after Judaism for Dummies, it provides a wealth of important... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Holy Woman: The Road to Greatness of Rebbetzin Chaya Sara Kramer from Mesorah Publications, Limited Price: $16.31 Customer Review: I don't believe I've ever been as moved by a book as I have by Holy Woman. The compassion ~ the chesed ~ that Chaya Sarah Kramer and her husband Rabbi Yaakov Moshe Kramer showed to every person they met is almost beyond description. Yet Sara Yoheved Rigler does a wonderful job of sharing their story... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Defenders of the Faith: Inside Ultra-Orthodox Jewry from University of California Press Price: $23.35 Customer Review: Heilman is a student of Erving Goffman, and offers meticulous and insightful analyses of the haredi rituals he observes. He studies a category of Jews who insist upon their essential difference from the rest of humanity, and yet is able to communicate across these self-erected barriers. Marvelous,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Unlocking the Torah Text from Gefen Publishing House Price: $29.35 Customer Review: Sepher Tov! Unlocking the Torah Text is an excellent introduction to an adult understanding of the Torah text. Most of us learned the stories as children. Goldin reintroduces them to us, showing us what we missed and introducing us to the rabbinic and scholarly interaction with the text. In... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Nineteen Letters from Feldheim Customer Review: The basic structure of the book is as follows: at the beginning, a character invented by Hirsch expresses his disenchantment with Judaism, and Hirsch responds. At this point, one might think that Hirsch argues in favor of the Torah being a Divine invention that Jews should therefore obey.... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Around Sarah's Table: Ten Hasidic Women Share Their Stories of Life, Faith, and Tradition from Free Press Price: $16.32 Customer Review: This book was interesting with various different stories about different women in the ultra-Othordox faith. However, many of the stories were too short for my liking, and often, they were not that interesting. It's a shame since it was a good idea just not written out that well. It's still a good... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		HERETICS from NuVision Publications Price: $10.39 Customer Review: As he himself affirmed, Chesterton was criticized on numerous occasions for maintaining a seemingly irreverent or flippant tone and attitude while writing about subjects that inherently demand the utmost sincerity. To superficially read Heretics might be to understand the apparent validity of such... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
