Dear Safranim,
Our rabbi once owned an edition of the Everett Fox Five Books of
Moses that came with a CD-ROM. Does anyone know where this might
still be available with the CD-ROM?
Many thanks.

did you had mention that you' d compile the full list and send a copy

That's an intriguing question.
I assume you mean books other than the Tanach and other religious texts.
This is, of course, subjective, but here are a few suggestions:
Joseph Telushkin's A Code of Jewish Ethics
Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl
Viktor Frankl's
1. Genesis
2. Exodus
3. Leviticus
4. Numbers
5. Deuteronomy
They are the foundation of all of Jewish religion, history, and culture
and--sadly--most American Jews have not read them. Start with these
five books and you'll have a greater appreciation of all the other
Jewish books you read.
All-of-a-Kind Family - Taylor
Maus - Spiegelman
A Short History of the Jewish People - Scheindlin

Five books every American Jew should read.
Having not lived in the u.s.a. for 21 years, I'm not much of an
authority but at the moment I can think of one that I'm bugging every
english-speaking individual in Valencia, jewish or not, to read:
Outwitting History by Aaron Lansky
Besos de
I vote for As a Driven Leaf by Milton Steinberg.

Submissions for
Five books every American Jew should read.
Not books to have on their shelves for reference, but books to
actually read in their entirety.
Any thoughts?
