About this title

Synopsis

This book introduces the reader to the fundamental aspects of Judaism by exploring the ritual and cultural symbols of this religion. Rabbi Marc-Alain Ouaknin offers insightful commentary, and basic questions are answered clearly and concisely. Why is the yarmulka worn? Why are the scrolls of the law written by hand? Each chapter details also the various religious holidays and feasts according to the Jewish calendar.

About the Author

Rabbi Marc-Alain Ouaknin is the director of the Centre de Recherches et d'Etudes Juives in Paris and an associate professor at the University of Bar-Han in Israel.
