The Second Jewish Catalog explores more of the life of Judaism,exploring the cycles of Jewish life:Birth,B^әrit Millah,Jewish Naming Conventions,Bar Mitz•wâh′,leaving home,Marriage,etc.The explanation about the scriptural and Jewish understanding of Divorce is very different,I discovered,than the commonly held beliefs in the Xtn,secular world and civil practices.The book continues where The First Jewish Catalog left off,in contining to show how every part of Jewish life revolves around and reflects the Torah and his/her relationship to The Perfect-Singularity-Creator.

I think the great thing that makes the First and Second Jewish Catalogs important reading is their "hands-on," fun approach to making a Tor•âhꞋ  life enjoyable, fun and a great experience (rather than the often-hateful, occult-ritualistic, sour, medieval and superstitious sanctimony of the Ultra-Orthodox).

The Second Jewish Catalog, like The First Jewish Catalog, is written by non-Orthodox authors. So, their Tor•âhꞋ  orientation can be expected to differ in places (in which case, of course, we simply ignore any illogical views and continue following logical Ha•lâkh•âhꞋ ).
