A MUST READ FOR EVERY JEW! A recommended read for anyone who would like to learn about how Jews pray (Davin), and certain other customs surrounding our culture. There is Hebrew involved, but there is a phonetical transliteration for those who do not speak or read Hebrew. The book gives some insight to similarities, while still maintaining milenia of our rich, rich Hebrew Culture and Religious background. Perhaps archaic to some, this has sustained billions since antiqiuity. I enjoy this book, even now, as I can still page through this book for information, reference, and for prayer ( Tefilah). I own this book, and I intend to read and and use it as a guide as long as I am able. UPDATE: I STILL PICK THIS BOOK UP FROM TIME TO TIME. I HAVEN'T RECENTLY, BUT I PLAN TO IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SO I SHANT TAKE THIS FROM MY CURRENT READING LIST(MY APOLOGIES FOR THE CAPITAL LETTERS. THIS IS A BIG REMINDER TO MYSELF OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WRITTEN WORDS HEREIN.
