I did not know how and when this book landed in my bookcase, but it is a good read, although parts of the book are relevant to the period when it was written, like working on the cause of Soviet Jewry. It introduces Judaism, its principles, why the rules are conceived, how they are relevant today, etc. My take, it is good to know people's beliefs and respect them. But, the arguments can be made virtually from any other sect and practice, given an opportunity. So, there is no need to compare across faiths. What is more relevant is how the Faiths can provide space to others equitably for a better social and world order.
As a non-Jewish person with no real introduction to Judaism, the book gave me some good insights into the community and its practices.
