Rabbi Kerry Olitzky provides an informative introduction to the basics of Judaism and the complexities of Jewish life through the perspective of an interfaith relationship with Introducing My Faith And My Community. An ideal outreach guide for Christian readers in a Jewish Interfaith relationship, Rabbi Olitzky accessibly addresses a diversity of issues including beliefs, religion, and the place of God in the Jewish faith; study, learning, and charity as core values in Jewish life; food, holidays, humor, and ethnicity as parts of Jewish culture; and the importance of Synagogue, Israel, and Community to American Jews. Highly recommended reading, especially for the Christian husbands of Jewish wives, the Christian wives of Jewish husbands; and the Christian relatives of Jewish children.
