What do Jews believe?

What the Jews Believe, by Edward Kessler, explores the diverse lifestyles of Jews—religious and secular, Ashkenazi and Sephardic—in Israel and the Diaspora. The founder and director of the Center for the Study of Jewish-Christian Relations also examines the roots of anti-Semitism and the Zionist movement, as well as the evolution of conflicts between Jews and their Arab neighbors. The author shows how Judaism is, above all, the practice of a way of life. The significant influence of the Jewish community throughout history—estimated today at between 12 and 15 million people—is also analyzed.
