Description: "Robinson illuminates the Jewish life cycle at every stage: from birth and circumcision to bar/bat mitzvahs, to weddings, to death and mourning.

He also lays out many fascinating aspects of Judaism that may have seemed too dense to tackle - the role of the Kabbalah and mysticism in Jewish history, the evolution of Hasidism, the impact of the Holocaust on Jewish philosophical thought, and more - while keeping a firm focus on the many different paths to living a good Jewish life in today's world."--BOOK JACKET.
