Summary: Rediscover Judaism
Review: This quick reading book is targeted to the secular or non-practicing Jew who is reconsidering the role of Judaism in his life. Also a good book for the Jew considering intermarriage. The book is organized into sections based on the typical reasons that non-practicing jews give for the nominal role that Judaism has in their lives. There is also a chapter which gives a good but brief Jewish view of the foundations of Christianity. The authors have done a good job of organizing and thinking through their responses to statements ranging from "I can be a moral person without organized religion" to the complex issue of intermarriage. The book was written 20+ years ago, so there are a few sections that are outdated, such as the brief section that deals with Soviet Jewry.

Summary: Great for beginning Judaism students
Review: We used this text in our adult Judaism class, and I, as non-Jew. in a moderate Conservative synagoguge, 'shiksa", in fact, found it most eloquent and to-the-point, of the many textbooks I have read in this genre. You can't go wrong with Telushkin and Prager ( the moderate voices crying out in the wilderness ).
