Rabbi Telushkin has done a favor for us all with his learned book of Jewish history, rituals, ethics and life. Scholarly and fair, witty and fun to read, this is a reference for serious research and casual curiosity. Telushkin provides information, insight, flavor and vignette. Sure he's unstintingly erudite, but he's also an exceptional raconteur.
