OK so I didn't check the size of this book before I made my purchase. If I had I really wouldn't have bought it. It is ridiculously small, I can hardly hold it let alone read it. That said it does seem to be a "little" (being the operative word) gem

A great book that should be in all Jewish homes and even non-jewish homes so that everyone would understand the religion better. Even members of the Jewish faith, whilst maintaining the many traditional aspects of the religion will not always know why we do something. This book will have the answer. When your child or a non-jewish friend asks why do we do a particular thing we can usually give an answer, but it may not be exactly right. Consult 'The Jewish Book of Why' and your problems are over. I wish I had discovered it years ago.
Format:Hardcover
This book came into its own over the high holy days this month. Sitting around the house at this time of year means lots of arguements and debate over the rules and regs of jewishness. We had fun using the book as referee.
