The Half-Jewish Book: A Celebration

Daniel Klein, Freke Vuijst

Villard, 2000

Surpisingly Fascinating!
A wonderful collection of stories and quotes about some people you never knew were (half)Jewish and some you thought you did. Humorous and poignant, it really made me think about the mixed attitudes toward them. Most disturbing to me is that it reveals Sean Penn is ...

Thomas Cathcart, Daniel Klein

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008

The Book of Genesis: A Commentary by ShaDaL

Daniel A. Klein

Jason Aronson, 1998

The translation and notes are outstanding!
Having compared the translation to the original, I can only say that the translation is by far superior. The notes are especially good and helpful. I hope the author continues to work on the rest of Shadal's commentary. The only weakness of the book is that is a ...
