New! The Non-Orthodox Jew's Guide to Orthodox Jews 
The Non-Orthodox Jew's Guide to Orthodox Jews was written by David Baum to fill a void - the lack of a single book that can be given to secular Jews that explains our thoughts and beliefs and the underlying reasons behind them. With an introduction written by HaRav Aharon Feldman of Ner Israel, the book touches on nearly every conceivable issue in a friendly and non-judgmental manner.
The book has also proven to be tremendous chizuk for Orthodox Jews, especially those in kiruv and can be purchased directly from the author, David Baum at jewsguide.com Enter promo code "kiruv" at checkout and enjoy the reduced price of $18.00 per book. |
