I read this book as part of the Discovering Judaism class I am taking. I found it very interesting and alot of it was very yogaish--if that is even a word. It talked about ways to create a yoga practice and I thought had some very inspiring ideas and thoughts. It may have been the first "jewish" book that I really felt that "hey I can see myself doing that" or "yeah I totally agree". The end of the book got a little choppy and I felt like they had a 100 page deadline and had to wrap things up real quick. It also had a whole chapter about circumcision. It seems to me that Jews could talk forever on circumsiion--what is with that. But overall an enjoyable read.
