Normon Solomon's succinct book is an ideal introduction to Judaism as
a religion and way of life. Demonstrating the diverse nature and
ethnic origin of those with the Jewish faith, Solomon explores how the
Jewish religion has developed in the 2,000 years since the days of the
Bible. This Very Short Introduction starts by outlining the basics of
practical Judaism - its festivals, prayers, customs, and various sects
- and goes on to consider how Judaism has responded to, and dealt
with, a number of key issues and debates, including the impact of the
Holocaust and the establishment of the State of Israel. In this new
edition, Solomon considers issues of contemporary Judaism in the
twenty first century. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions
