Judaism isn’t a race or even a particular culture or ethnic group. There are about 13 or 14 million Jews spread around the world, including about 6 million in the United States and about 5 million in Israel – so Judaism clearly isn’t “a nation.” So what does it mean to be Jewish? Here are the basics: 
<ul>
<li>Being Jewish (being “a Jew”) means you’re a Member of the Tribe (an M-O-T). The tribe started with a couple named Abraham and Sarah about 4,000 years ago, it grew over time, and it’s still here today. You can become part of the Jewish tribe in two ways: By being born to a Jewish mother or joining through a series of rituals (called converting).</li> <li>
Judaism is a set of beliefs, practices, and ethics based on the Torah. You can practice Judaism and not be Jewish, and you can be a Jew and not practice Judaism.</li> </ul>
Whether you're interested in the religion or the spirituality, the culture or the ethnic traditions, Judaism For Dummies explores the full spectrum of Judaism, dipping into the mystical, meditative, and spiritual depth of the faith and the practice. In this warm and welcoming book, you'll find coverage of <ul>
<li>Orthodox Jews and breakaway denominations</li> <li>Judaism as a daily practice</li> <li>The food and fabric of Judaism</li> <li>Jewish wedding ceremonies</li> <li>Celebrations and holy days</li> <li>4,000 years of pain, sadness, triumph, and joy</li> <li>Great Jewish thinkers and historical celebrities</li> </ul>
Jews have long spread out to the corners of the world, so there are significant Jewish communities on many continents. Judaism For Dummies offers a glimpse into the rituals, ideas, and terms that are woven into the history and everyday lives of Jewish people as near as our own neighborhoods and as far-reaching as across the world.

A deeply personal journey to interfaith collaboration that offers hope for an inclusive and healing way of being together in the world. 
Too often religion seems to fuel more hatred than love, more conflict than collaboration. Interfaith Talk Radio's "interfaith amigos"―a pastor, a rabbi and an Imam―provide a rich understanding of the road to interfaith collaboration by sharing their stories, challenges and the inner spiritual work necessary to go beyond tolerance to a vital, inclusive spirituality.
From their deep commitment and lived experience, they present ways we can work together to transcend the differences that have divided us historically. Together they explore:
<ul>
<li>The five stages of the interfaith journey</li>
<li>The power of our stories</li>
<li>The core of our traditions</li>
<li>The promises and problems of our traditions</li>
<li>New dimensions of spiritual identity</li>
<li>And much more</li>
</ul>
Along with inspiring insights and encouragement for tapping into the promise of interfaith dialogue, they provide practical actions, additional readings and discussion questions to help you embody their revolutionary spirit of healing.
