Summary: Great format, good book, easy reading
Comment: As usual Rabbi Telushkin writes a book that is informative, written in a way that assumes that you have no background on the subject yet will hold you if you are an expert, and is highly interesting.
The format of the book is that you are given a short chapter (a page or two) and you are expected to read one chapter a day. This way the information will better stick with you. You work on one small addition to your life or outlook a day. These are great short essays on Jewish ethics. Do you know what an employee owes to his employer? Can/should a Jew be an organ donor? Did you know the prayer that one should say when leaving the bathroom (and do you know why it is done)? Is it ever ok to lie? Why gossip is against Jewish law. One frequent theme is respect of others. This book contains many essays that help one live a moral, ethical life, and while based in Halacha (Jewish law) is applicable to non-Jews as well.
Rabbi Telushkin is well versed in the subject matter as Jewish law is very concerned with ethics and living in a moral and ethical manner. Rabbi Telushkin is expert in Jewish law after having studied under some of the greatest minds in late 20th century Orthodox Judaism at Yeshiva Univeristy.

Summary: Wonderful!
Comment: In this terrific book, Rabbi Telushkin presents discussions about Jewish ethics in easily digestable, tasty bites. The format is wonderful---a passage for each day of the week, with a review section for Shabbat. Read it yourself or share it with your family---but enjoy it and use it. The world would be a better place if we all read this book!

Summary: Beauty, Knowledge, Sensitivity....Amazing Book!
Comment: Like so many, I went through the 60's Woodstock generation of rebellion and apathy toward my own religion. When I took this book home, I didn't put it down; I was up all night. What struck me was that these are indeed the values with which I was raised but I didn't know that so many were based upon the principles and ethics of Judaism. This book gave me the impetus to purchase and study the Talmud. You will walk away from this book knowing that kindness is the only path to follow. I recommend this book to everyone regardless of their religion, to someone who wants to know what Judaism is all about and to any young person, particuarly those who are swayed by the latest cult and have little idea what their own religion has to offer. In a delightful style and format, the author conveys how the Jewish religion encompasses so much beauty, benevolence and richness of spirit. As an animal rights activist, I was impressed with his addressing and analyzing current issues such as the wearing of fur and the cruel treatment of veal calves and the dilemma that presents (since "kosher" is based on humane treatment of animals). I have so much respect for this brilliant, kind and sensitive man! It should be given to every young person for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah and passed down to future generations. You'll cherish this book!
