God-Optional Judaism by Judith Seid

God-Optional Judaism is a wonderful, chock-full resource for families and individuals who want to find their place in the Jewish world without necessarily believing in God. Funny, accessible, and open-minded, the book touches on key elements of Jewish history and philosophy, all the major holidays (food recipes included!), and contemporary issues of intermarriage, education, conversion, feelings towards Israel, and spirituality. It offers alternative, nontheistic ways to celebrate every Jewish holiday and all the rites of passage in life, details the historical significance and development of the Jewish religion and culture, and furnishes anecdotes, quotes, and resource information.
