About this listen

Normon Solomon's succinct book is an ideal introduction to Judaism as a religion and way of life. Demonstrating the diverse nature and ethnic origin of Jewish people, Solomon explores how the religion has developed in the 2,000 years since the days of the Bible.

This Very Short Introduction starts by outlining the basics of practical Judaism, including: festivals, prayers, customs, and various sects-and goes on to consider how Judaism has responded to, and dealt with, a number of key issues and debates, including the impact of the Holocaust and the establishment of the State of Israel. In this new edition, Solomon considers issues of contemporary Judaism in the twenty-first century, incorporating new material on the relationship between the Muslim faith and Judaism, the rise of Zohar and Kabala, and considers how the faith deals with issues such as homosexuality and gay marriage.

Disappointed to find that a book sources from Audible in the UK from a UK publisher (Oxford University Press, for goodness sake!) has an American reader, and the content is somewhat US-centric at times. The performance is very poor. The voice artist can't read German or Yiddish words, which are badly mispronounced, and mispronounces "Hadrian", "deity", "Galata", "Nathan der Weise", "Feuerbach", "Provence"...I could go on. He reads out the line saying that Hebrew words with the plural suffix in -im have stress on the final syllable, then reads out a list of them with the stress anywhere but on the final syllable!
