It doesn't really do it
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This work has much interesting information but I do not think it truly defines the 'Jewish Mind'.

I would too say that as Jews value the idea of Creation , their own Mind is in a constant process of Development and creation. Any summary then seems to be a simple reduction, and not true to the Reality.
