Author: Rabbi Mordechai Becher
Publisher: Artscroll Mesorah
The What, How, and Why of Jewish Life 
Orthodox
Product Description
Questions are the gateways to knowledge. After years of responding to the queries of people from all walks of life, Rabbi Becher saw the need for a single volume that would explain the fundamentals of Jewish living; the philosophy behind Jewish tradition, along with practical explanations of how Jews actually live. Gateway to Judaism offers an engaging insider's look at the mindset, values, and practices of Judaism in the 21st century. Some of the fascinating questions which Rabbi Becher addresses in Gateway to Judaism are: - In the age of modern conveniences do we really need a Sabbath?
- What is Judaism's view on death and the afterlife?
- Why is Judaism so full of laws?
- Why should I pray? Does God really want to hear my complaints?
- Can Judaism enhance my marriage?
- What does Judaism say about raising and educating children?
- Isn't circumcision just an ancient rite of initiation? What relevance does it have today?
- Why is Israel so central to Judaism? Does a religion need a land?
- How can I conduct a Passover Seder if I can barely read Hebrew?
"Gateway to Judaism is a book that will inspire, inform and guide readers in exploring their Jewish heritage. The style is user-friendly and the profound philosophical and ethical teachings of Judaism are clearly presented in an up-to-date, relevant manner. To the question 'What is Judaism all about?' this book provides a thoroughly researched, comprehensive and very accessible response.”— Joe Lieberman
