"A beautifully written and illustrated presentation of Judaism, its traditions, history, and the beauty of its way of life. The work takes a wide perspective bringing together a variety of fascinating sources.

Schiffman Judge Abraham Lieberman Professor of Hebrew and Judaic Studies; Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies; Director of the Global Network for Advanced Research iח Jewish Studies; New York University
"The Book of Jewish Knowledge attempts the impossible, and does it remarkably well! While single volume can fully capture or convey the wisdom of the Jewish People's eternal story, this book is a wonderful way to enter that story, with insight, pride, and genuine love of G-d, Torah and the Jewish People" --Rabbi Brad Hirschfield President, Clal - The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership; Co-Founder and Executive Editor
