This book is aimed at adult readers seeking to move their lives in a Jewish direction - as Diamont puts it, to make more "Jewish choices." Covering topics such as the Jewish home, the Jewish community, holidays, and life-cycle events, Diamont de-mystifies basic concepts and practices. It is an excellent primer and should be an early addition to any beginner's Jewish library. It reads mostly as a "how-to," making Jewish practice do-able for the novice, though it also includes well-researched basic background information, complete with end-notes and suggestions for further reading. It will be most useful to secular Jews and Reform, Reconstructionist, Renewal, and liberal-leaning Conservative Jews who never went to Hebrew school, or for whom Hebrew school is a distant memory. While Diamont encourages a diversity of Jewish opinions and levels of worship, this book is not aimed at those seeking a very traditional Orthodox lifestyle. Beliefs, prayers and home liturgy are mentioned within the context of discussion of a particular event or occasion, but Diamont's focus is not on introducing or explaining Jewish belief or synagogue liturgy in depth. Review: Informative, Easy Reading - This book is not only very informative but also easy to read and understand. It's well written and educational, and I feel it's a great starting point for learning about Judaism. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #795,080 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #34 in Jewish Life (Books) #61 in Jewish Holidays (Books) #411 in Jewish Social Studies | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (765) | | Dimensions | 6.12 x 0.8 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | Updated | | ISBN-10 | 0061173649 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0061173646 | | Item Weight | 13.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | February 27, 2007 | | Publisher | William Morrow Paperbacks | ## Images ![Living a Jewish Life, Updated and Revised Edition: Jewish Traditions, Customs, and Values for Today's Families - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61flEpRgLHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Invaluable reference and how-to for beginners and returning Jews *by J***O on September 8, 2009* Diamont's "Living a Jewish Life" is a readable, welcoming, inclusive introduction to liberal Jewish living.
