Brill, in collaboration with The Museum of Jewish Heritage (New York) and Continuum (New York) proudly presents 'The Encyclopaedia of Judaism'.
'The Encyclopaedia of Judaism' provides a definitive account of contemporary Judaism and a reliable picture of a tradition of nearly four thousand years. A full and detailed index provides ready-reference for facts, and the systematic articles set forth highly readable accounts of the entire range of Judaic systems of belief and behavior put forth over time and in our own time. It is written for people from all backgrounds, scholars and general readers alike.
When the editors completed the initial three volumes of 'The Encyclopaedia of Judaism', they found satisfaction in having covered the more than one hundred topics. But they also realized that many other important topics remained to be set forth in a systematic way. This led to the Supplements One and Two, offering new inquiries into the history, practices, and theology of the religion, Judaism.
'The Encyclopaedia of Judaism CD-ROM' comprises all five published volumes of this award-winning overview of Judaism. Meant for easy searching with additional photographs, the CD-ROM is a indispensable addition to the printed volumes, now already comprising 2,500 pages and 150 entries.

The 'Encyclopaedia of Judaism' has been selected as CHOICE's Outstanding Academic Title for 2000 and by the American Library Association as Outstanding Reference Source 2001.
