I have an important question...

[Dena]

What are you reading?

 

[Yona]

What are you reading?

Are you asking about specifically spiritual/religious books or 'secular' books as well?

If the former I am reading The Myth Of The Judeo-Christian Tradition by Arthur A. Cohen, which I highly recommend.

 

[Dena]

Well...the first mostly but the second is good too.

Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
for my English lit class.

TBH, I have been so busy that I haven't had much time to read anything not school related but I have been reading bits of the Tanakh and NT.

I am switching back and forth between Rabbi Daniel Sperber's excellent On Changes in Jewish Liturgy: Options and Limitations, and the Perush Hatefillot Vehabrachot (Commentary on the Liturgy and Blessings) of Rabbi Yehudah ben Yakar (13th Century).

And in my secular reading, I am re-reading the Harry Potter books, and reading Tolkein's The Hobbit aloud to my wife, who never had it read to her as a child.

I've just finished 'The Wisdom of Judaism: An Introduction to the Values of the Talmud' by Dov Peretz Elkins and really loved it. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wanted to learn more about Jewish values and ethics (whether they were considering conversion or just interested in learning about Judaism).

I liked that one too.
