Judaism in Five Minutes provides an accessible and lively introduction to common questions about Jews and Judaism, with a focus on Jewish communities, textual traditions, practices, rituals, laws, holidays, and life-cycle events. As with other volumes in the Religion in 5 Minutes series, this volume is suitable for beginning students and general readers through a series of general questions, succinctly answered by experts in the field. Some of the questions addressed in this volume include the following: What is the Torah? What is the Talmud? What is Jewish law? What is a rabbi? Was Jesus Jewish? What does kosher mean? Do Jews believe in a messiah? What is Zionism? What is antisemitism? What role did race play in the Holocaust? Because each chapter can be read in about five minutes, the books offer ideal supplementary resources in classrooms or an engaging read for those curious about the world around them.
