Lulu.com, 2013

In today's society, Jew and non-Jew alike know little about the spectrum of practices and beliefs that are called Judaism. Few Jews can answer these questions: What is an Orthodox, a Conservative, a Reform Jew? Why are there different viewpoints within Judaism? How did these different viewpoints come about? Few Christians can answer these questions: What did Jesus, the Jew, believe? How did Jesus, the Jew, practice Judaism? What is the Jewish mindset of the world of 2,000 years ago? What is the range of today's American or Israeli Jewish mindset? Anyone wanting to understand the basics of Judaism needs the level of understanding of Judaism that "So Many Gates to the City..." offers. This book makes the foundations of Judaism more understandable and meaningful to the Orthodox, non-Orthodox and non-Jew alike. The most fundamental concepts defining Judaism are made readily understandable, while the divergences that non-Orthodox Jewish movements have taken are made clear.
