Reviews
"I wish I had this book when I was young. I'm grateful that the b'nei mitzvah and their parents in my congregation have it now. Rabbi Feinstein responds to the tough questions thoughtful Jewish teenagers ask with wisdom, humor, gentleness and insight. "
-Rabbi Laura Geller, senior rabbi, Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills, California
"In this remarkable book Rabbi Feinstein asks all the tough questions, and gives them thoughtful, important and often surprising answers. I will keep it by my desk; every Jewish parent seeking answers should do the same."

Teaching Your Children About God
"A masterpiece in Jewish education by a master educator. A gift for teenagers and adults alike. "
-Rabbi Donniel Hartman, co-director, Shalom Hartman Institute, Jerusalem
"Takes us through those 'keep-you-up-at-night' questions-and does so with wit and depth. This is the best theology book for young people that I have read in a long time. It will be must-reading for confirmation classes and Hebrew high school. What a treasure! "
