The Book of Jewish Knowledge is a beautiful publication that is a multifaceted exploration of Jewish history, values, and practices.

 

The Book of Jewish Knowledge offers 1200 answers in 1200 voices, presenting the story of Judaism via a rich variety of texts and visuals that collectively present an encyclopedic overview of Jewish history, an in-depth examination of four millennia of Jewish wisdom, and an intimate tour of Jewish traditions and observances.

​

Rabbi Nochum Schapiro, President of the Rabbinical Association of Australasia, has been presenting this important volume to government officials and community leaders as an educational resource, helping foster informed understanding, respectful dialogue and deeper awareness of Jewish identity, tradition and values within Australian public life.
