Product Description
In simple, direct language, Rabbi Kolatch explains what Jews believe, how they observe their holidays, the significance of their customs and ceremonies, and the differences between the denominations. Among the questions answered are:
    * Why is a child born to a Jewish father not necessarily Jewish?
    * Why is there objection to surrogate motherhood?
    * Why do some seminaries ordain women?
    * Why are boys circumcised?
    * Why is a glass broken at a wedding ceremony?
    * Why are pork and shrimp not kosher?

The Jewish Book of Why makes an important contribution towards dispelling many of the prevalent misunderstandings and misconceptions that surround Jewish observance. Jews and non-Jews alike will find this volume enlightening. Over 1,000,000 copies sold.
