Summary: Short & Sweet; Eloquent & Profound
Comment: This little book is a beautiful read. He describes the essential ideas, attitudes, and perceptions of Judaism with eloquent, if not poetic, language that touches the heart. I am not religious or observant, but I am seeking to find my own spirituality within Judaism. This book goes straight to the heart of Juadaism. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Extremely rewarding & short too
Comment: I loved this book! In a very few pages, it gives you a sense of why the author, and by extension anyone else, would want to be a Jew. Moreover, the book is written in a beautifully lyric prose, which was beautiful & easy to read. I would love to mass produce this book & give it to every non-Orthodox Jew as well as anyone thinking of conversion. What a treat!

Summary: Takes forever to answer the question and does so insipidly.
Comment: Wolpe takes forever to answer the question, "Why Be Jewish." One must first plow through mounds of fluffy and cute prose -- much of it sounding like a bad imitation of Abraham Joshua Heschel. Wolpe waits until the last paragraph of the final chapter to answer the question, but give an answer that can only be described as insipid. Mr. Wolpe apparently believes that the reason to be Jewish is that one should be good and joyful and help the world and be one with God. Sorry, Mr. Wolpe, that is not a reason to be Jewish. That is a reason to be an ethical monotheist, which is all that Wolpe's "Judaism" amounts to. A banal and disappointing work.
