Synopsis:
The Jewish Home explains many of the "whys" of major Jewish holidays and life-cycle events. The birth of a child, the weeding ceremony, b’nei mitzvah, and Shabbat are only a few of the topics discussed in this work. Readers are provided with Jewish rituals and practices, their symbolism, and their historical and cultural roots.
Rabbi Daniel Syme has revised this edition to reflect the changes in Reform Judaism and Jewish life that have occurred since its first publication 15 years ago. He presents clear explanations of traditional and contemporary practices in an easy-to-follow question-and-answer format.
About the Author: Rabbi Daniel B. Syme, a graduate of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, holds a doctorate in education from Teachers College, Columbia University. Rabbi Syme has authored or co-written more than two dozen books, including the acclaimed Finding God and What Happens After I Die? He is currently rabbi emeritus of Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and founder of A Single Soul, a suicide prevention program in Michigan.
