About the book: 2011 / A fascinating and accessible presentation of the foundations of Judaism and Jewish traditions. Judaism is one of the oldest monotheistic religions existing in the world. This religion influenced the philosophy, culture, politics, economics and art of many countries and peoples, including Russia. The authors - Chief Rabbi of Russia Adolf Shaevich and the famous journalist Eteri Chalandziya - managed to get away from a dry presentation of theological postulates and make the book interesting for both a Judaist and any educated person.
