In The Book of Jewish Values , Rabbi Joseph Telushkin has combed the Bible, the Talmud, and the whole spectrum of Judaism's sacred writings to give us a manual on how to lead a decent, kind, and honest life in a morally complicated world. Telushkin speaks to the major ethical issues of our time, issues that have, of course, been around since the beginning. He offers one or two pages a day of pithy, wise, and easily accessible teachings designed to be put into immediate practice. I'm a Baha'i' and I have to say I LOVE this book. It is a real rare and honest look at life.
Truth is universal and there is a lot of good truth in here.
In addition it helps me understand and communicate with some of my extended Jewish family members. These are great insights and this writer is very frank and pure. Not everything in it is aggreeable but most is. The stuff thats odd to me is helpful in understanding another viewpoint at the least. This book is a humble treasure.
