(We are so much like our neighbors - yet we are so differe...)
We are so much like our neighbors - yet we are so different! This book, in a series of probing, entertaining and informative essays, aims at helping the reader understand something about Jewish differentness, something about how Jews think, what Jews believe and what Jews have contributed to the world. This book is about what Jews have in common - Jews around the world, Jews of varied and diverse cultural backgrounds. This book is a look at something of the essence of Jewishness. It is about Jewish ideas, Jewish values, about Jewish ways of looking at the same things non-Jews look at, but seeing them differently.
