Book Reviews: Jewish Books, Jewish Authors, Jewish Issues

At MazorGuide's literary outlet, we aim to bring to light the works of Jewish authors and publications that are of relevance to Jewish life and that celebrate, honor, and embrace our heritage.  MazorGuide Book section will be giving voice to diverse views and multiple perspectives, however, though we encourage and invite honest discourse, and diversity in perspectives and understanding, this outlet is devoted to those who embrace and love Israel,  the Jewish people, and Judaism.

The book review section of MazorGuide is commencing with a handful of selections, both fiction and non-fiction.  This list will grow as more titles and authors will be selected by members of the book club.
