Textual Discoveries

The following books are among those that are ideal for any basic English language Jewish collection. Don't have the time to read? Well, as an experiment, for one short month, cut off your cable TV, avoid the internet, cancel the newspaper and forego Stephen King. New vistas for stimulating Torah study will materialize! For those interested in procuring an instant Jewish library, simply present this list to the largest Jewish bookstore in your community and bring plenty of money. There are several online resources as well. Better yet, find yourself a weekly learning partner who will force you to keep that all important date with your heritage.

Please note for the record that the majority of these authors are rabbis and the list does not include titles from Artscroll Publications such as the Siddur, Stone Chumash and books focusing on the various holidays.
