As I wrote in the introduction, I needed to stall one Shabbat morning until we had a minyan. So I asked, rather weakly, if people had a favorite prayer. And I was astounded at how everyone present not only did, but articulated beautifully just what that prayer did for them. I realized that more people have deep Jewish prayer experiences (yes, in the synagogue!) than I had even remotely imagined. And I began to understand that these deep experiences and reflections could inspire others, too.

I love Telushkin but am wondering if you could you recommend a book with more scope/depth? Particularly interested in a history of the Jews in the diaspora from the time of the destruction of the 2nd Temple--how the Jews spread, Jews in African/Sephardic countries, Ashkenazim, etc. This is for a weekly study group we hold at our synagogue. Currently reading Howard Sachar's "History of Jews in America." Thank you.
