Guide to Jewish Religious Practice

Rabbi Klein's compendium of Jewish Law, a Shulchan Arukh for English readers, remains as valuable if not more so, as when produced 30 years ago. Nominally the product of a Conservative scholar, Rabbi Klein's definitive clarity with a comprehensive while consistent traditional approach is a gem...

Normative Conservative/Masorti Judaism

This well-written work succinctly provides a plethora of Jewish religious practices, addressing differences among: American/Israeli, Ashkenazi/Sephardi, & (at least to a degree) Conservative-Masorti/Orthodox Jews. It includes an Appendix/Supplement by R. Joel Roth explaining the practices for...

Conservative Halachic guide

Rabbi Klein of blessed memory was a devoted scholar. And this work of Halachah is a comprehensive guide which should be of great use to every Conservative Jew. I would take exception to one reviewer's mark suggesting that it is ' the Halachic guide'. Orthodox Jews care more in general about...

A dense excellent reference for serious Jews

This book, by the late Rabbi Isaac Klein, of blessed memory, is the only fairly comprehensive guide to Jewish religious practice issued by the Conservative movement. As such, it is an indispensable reference to the practicing Jew. Readers will find that their is, in fact, very little difference...

A requirement

Every serious open minded Jew should be familiar with this book. Every Conservative Jew should own it. More importantly, it is a book that every Conservative Rabbi should urge his/her congregants to own. That won't happen- but you should still buy this book and tell your friends to buy it too.

A great reference with a few caveats...

A very good book, but beware the index.

This is an extremely useful reference, which should be on every Jew's bookshelf. It is a remarkably comprehensive guide for its size, and is written in a clear and concise manner.My one criticism is it has a relatively poor index. This book is not meant to be read straight through, and it can be...

Perhaps the most accessible Jewish law guide ever

No matter what one's level of observance, every Jew should have a book of Jewish law and practice in their home. Having such a guide is essential for all Conservative and Orthodox Jews. Even though Reform Judaism teaches that halakha (Jewish law) is not binding, it also teaches that it is...
