Fascinating

This book is so informative, I am very interested in this religion, living in London I have seen many Jewish family's and was always curious about their way of life, this book has answered all of my questions along with questions I didn't know I would be interested in. I loved this book I am greatly eager to learn about different religions as I am unaware of most in depth. The narrator has the most soothing voice and everything is explained fully in the perfect way for the listener to understand, I thank all in the making of this recording for answering so many questions, now I understand a lot more and have an immense amount of respect, all aspects I found massively interesting, if you want a clearer understanding this is for you, thank you to Alfred J Kolatch for writing this wonderful book and thank you to Eli Wallach for your soothing and easy to understand voice, wonderful just wonderful.
