How to Get More Out of Being Jewish Even If :
A. You Are Not Sure You Believe in God,
B. You Think Going to Synagogue Is a Waste of Time,
C. You Think Keeping Kosher is Stupid,
D. You Hated Hebrew School,
E. All of the Above
by Gil Mann
Mann's book is oriented more toward adults who may have some problems
with Judaism even though they still "feel" Jewish. Mann presents Judaism
as a way of life consisting of three interlocking components: Ethics,
Spirituality, and Peoplehood, and presents a case that Judaism can
be practiced from any one or more of these components.
This book was discussed in the sermon for Yom Kippur 5760 (1999)

topics in Jewish learning. |

Shabbat is the cornerstone of Jewish life.
Although it's not always easy to imagine how one can incorporate Shabbat

Shabbat an integral part of your week. |

Women's
Studies |
There is no question that traditional Judaism
is male-centered. But in recent decades there has been an amazing
amount of work done in female-oriented approaches to Jewish ritual
and Jewish history. |

Cooking |
In all the lands we've lived in, our grandmothers and great-grandmothers
adapted the local cuisine to fit with Jewish dietary laws and to capture
the essence of the holidays. |
|
Spirituality |
Some people complain that Judaism is too much about law and
not enough about spirit. These books deal with spiritual aspects of
Judaism. |
