<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Is Judaism essentially a religion of laws and commandments?

In doing so, it sheds new light on the inner aspect of Jewish religious life, which is all too often hidden behind the external and institutional aspects of the Jewish religion"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Is Judaism essentially a religion of laws and commandments?
