Book excerpt: Growing up as a Jewish boy in suburban America, Jeffrey Salkin puzzled over his identity. Now, as a prominent rabbi, Salkin examines some of the myths and misconceptions surrounding Jewish manhood. With references to biblical and Talmudic sources and public figures, he offers a thought-provoking and deeply spiritual approach to the question of Jewish manhood in America today."A fine contribution to both the emerging fields of men's studies and the more popular, accessible branch of Jewish studies." --Kirkus Reviews"A richly researched and balanced guidebook for men and women alike. This book is written with great warmth and filled with wisdom." --Aryeh Lev Stollman, New York Times bestselling author of The Far Euphrates
