New Encyclopedia of Judaism
by Fred
Skolnik, Shmuel Himelstein, and Geoffrey Wigoder , Editors
How do you compress
3000 years of Jewish history into 856 pages? The Association of Jewish
Libraries thinks it was accomplished with the New Encyclopedia of Judaism.
It gave it the "Best Reference Book of the Year" award for 2002. The
publisher has deep discounted the book and Avotaynu is making it
available for only $60.00. The book's publisher states it is a
comprehensive one-volume
encyclopedia that presents every aspect of the Jewish religion and
represents current thinking among scholars in the Reform, Conservative,
and Orthodox movements. This revised and expanded edition updates the
original thousand entries and adds nearly 250 new ones. Magnificently
illustrated, it also contains a new introduction, a guide for usage,
new illustrations, as well as a new annotated bibliography. Its
compilation was overseen by the late Geoffrey Wigoder, best known as
the Editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia Judaica.
