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.
