Editor in Chief Geoffrey Wigoder , Coeditors Fred Skolnick and Shmuel Himelstein
"Students, and their parents, looking for a good one-stop book to answer questions or to help with religious school homework will find this encyclopedia handy. And those looking for a religious-oriented bar/bat mitzvah gift may have found the answers to their prayers." - Voice of the Dutchess Jewish Community"Here's a comprehensive, A to Z encyclopedic reference to the key spiritual leaders, concepts and Biblical references in Judaism...strongly recommended for Judaic Studies reference collections as an excellent, comprehensive, basic reference." - The Bookwatch"A real sleep saver and serious study tool, it offers in a few short paragraphs what could otherwise take hours to research. This book will be an asset in the classroom as well as in any home. Even the glossary by itself would make it worth purchasing." - World Jewish Digest"More conceptual, more serious, and topical. It is attractively illustrated, with informational sidebars, photographs of documents, paintings, etc." - Jewish Book World"Intellectually stimulating and sophisticated. Highly recommended for all Judaica collections." - Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter
