Kreitman, founder of Masorti Olami, the World Council of Conservative/Masorti Synagogues
"Without a doubt,To Be a Jewis one of the all time great introductions to Judaism and is always on my short list of recommended books."—Rabbi Ephraim Z. Buchwald, National Jewish Outreach Program
"The republication ofTo Be a Jewis an occasion to celebrate. In this masterful book, the late Rabbi Donin meticulously and painstakingly collected, classified, and analyzed a multitude of Halakhot that are relevant to the life cycle of every Jew. The author succeeded in integrating a vast array of seeming minutia--behavioral Halakhot--into an uplifting symphony where 'all my bones' explode in a song of gratitude to the Ribbono Shel Olam."—Rabbi Simcha Krauss, Young Israel of Hillcrest
