About this title

Synopsis

Clarifies the meaning of the symbols, legends, and customs associated with the High Holy Days that start the Jewish calendar

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6Sound the Shofar is aimed at a younger audience than Greenfield's Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (Holt, 1979) . Greenfield's book is a brief, elegant description of the essential meaning and significance of the High Holy Days. Sound the Shofar in short sentences, brief paragraphs, accessible narrative broken up by subject headingscovers extensively and in detail the background and development of themes and traditions associated with Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It includes anecdotes and interesting sidelights on different holiday customs around the world. Attractive, decorative blue-and-white drawings enhance and often amplify the text. One typographic error changes meaning: the text says that Jews in Spain who were forced to convert to Christianity ``secretly'' attended Church, but actually, they attended Church openly while secretly practicing traditional religious customs at home. Librarians will want to add this book to their Jewish holiday shelves. Phillis Gershator, Dober Elementary School, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
