Rabbi Joseph Telushkin
These two volumes, about one thousand pages, permit to discover, to those who did not already know that, that Judaism ethics is at base of the other monotheistic religions which are, de facto, based on Judaism. In fact, they come from it, or from the same Semitic-Egyptian cultures. At ethical level there are not real differences.
The first volume is subtitled Love your Neighbor as Yourself, while the second one You shall be holy. Everything is more complex than these two statements and with exceptions based on circumstances.
