has enabled us to endure against all odds? The

 The
Code of Jewish Law:
Skip the esoterics; let's have the bottom
line. The Code of Jewish Law is the authoritative guide
to correct Jewish behavior from the cradle to the
grave, from the public sphere to the privacy of home.

immortal work and the encyclopedic works it has since
spawned is unraveled in this tape.

 Rabbi
Moshe Ben Maimon:
Doctor, mathematician, philosopher, and Torah
scholar, Maimonides is an unparalleled genius in Jewish
thought. Yet his prolific work raised
terrible controversy; his books were even burned. Hear
about his life and times, and discover why it is said
of him: "From Moses to Moses there arose none
like Moses."

 Rabbi
Yehuda Halevy/Kuzari:
"What heart is to the body, the Jewish people
are to the world," wrote Rabbi Yehuda Halevy, author of
the Kuzari. This philosophical work is almost like a
novel; it is written as a debate between a Christian,
Moslem, and Jew who are presenting the relative merits
of their religions before the 8th century king of the
Khazars. Between "the king's" relentless questions and
the
Jew's meticulous answers emerges a picture of a religion
of joy, accomplishment, and universal love of mankind.
