I purchased this book as a recommendation from my rabbi while I was in the process of conversion to Judaism and I find it very helpful. Really enjoy it!

[Judy]

A readable, straightforward collection of chapters on Jewish holidays and the Jewish life cycle.

[Jordon Gyarmathy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent but perhaps a tad outdated overview of major life cycle events as practiced in Reform Judaism. Very brief and concise but still helpful and informative.

[Mike Doyle · Rating 3 out of 5]

The question-and-answer nature of this book seemed to cover all the bases (and intuit all of my questions) about Jewish holidays and the Jewish life cycle. Definitely a reference book I want on my Jewish bookshelf.

[Jaclyn Goss]

Really great breakdown for someone who knows virtually nothing about a jewish life, so very insightful.

Not life changing but very informative. An easy read.
