About this title

Synopsis

TRADITIONS is a treasure chest of ancient, traditional, and modern Jewish blessings positioned between two strong currents of reader interest--an enthusiasm for recovering the lost wealth of Judaism and the universal quest for invigorating our daily lives with simple spirituality. Illustrated with stunning modern and archival photography of historical artifacts, religious symbols, and practical elements.

Reviews

Davis (The Way of the Flame: An Introduction to Jewish Meditation) and Shendelman, one of the best-known Jewish Renewal rabbis in Berkeley, Calif., have translated Jewish spiritual practices for non-Orthodox individuals, families and communities. This book is a collection of ancient, traditional and modern Jewish blessings positioned on the rise between two strong currents of interests: an enthusiasm among both Jews and non-Jews for exposure to the wealth of Judaism; and the universal quest for invigorating daily life with a beautiful, simple spirituality. Traditions is a reference that provides practical information from recipes for Passover to making your own sukkah, a temporary hut-like building usually made with a roof of tree branches and built between Yom Kippur and Sukkot. One section deals with new rituals and celebrations such as a blessing conceived by women praying to heal a misunderstanding with an alienated adult child. The book is illustrated with modern and archival photography of historical artifacts and religious symbols that help bring the sacred into lives in a direct, profound and intimate way. Its accessible examination of Jewish sacred practices will appeal to a broad audience of Jews and non-Jews alike.
