Hey kiddo! So, you know how you have lots of questions and sometimes you ask me or dad for answers? Well, Jewish people have lots of questions too and they made a big book that has lots of answers all in one place!
It's called the Jewish Encyclopedia, and it has information about Jewish traditions, holidays, religious texts, history, and so much more. Think of it like a giant dictionary for everything Jewish!
Now, it's important to know that there's a new version of this book that's been updated with even more information. It's called the New Jewish Encyclopedia, which means it has all the stuff that the old one had, but also some new things to learn about.
So basically, imagine having a big book that has answers to all your questions about being Jewish. That's what the new Jewish Encyclopedia is and why it's so helpful for Jewish people and anyone who wants to learn more!
