Israeli diplomats abroad who suddenly discover that they know too little about Judaism, will soon have an aid in the form of a compact guide intended to answer everything needed to know about Judaism. The booklet, whose name can be freely translated as “Instant Judaism” (“Yahadut al Regel Ahat”), was prepared by the World Zionist Organization with the Foreign Ministry. It will be sent to all Israeli diplomatic representatives. Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren wrote the introduction.
