I became interested in Judaism while reading the Old Testament. I found this book to be very useful in understanding parts of the Old Testament I never had understood before. The book gives a blow by blow of the formation of the Jewish Nation with Abraham and of the commandments with Moses. Included in the book are Jewish legends and interpretation of the laws by famous Rabbis. The book continues into the present and gives mitzvahs or commandments the Jew must follow. A description of the different forms of Judaism is given. Overall this book was fascinating and well worth reading. It even gives a recipe for Jewish Penicillin - chicken soup.
This book has a little bit of everything about Judaism and explains exactly why and how of each point. It contains the right amount of information to help you understand the basics while giving you a head start into specific points if you further want to research in other resources.
