About this title

Synopsis

The liturgy for the Days of Awe are the longest and most complex of the year, leaving many people without a complete understanding of the occasions' significance. ENTERING THE HIGH HOLY DAYS provides historical background and an interpretation of the ideas, practices, and the liturgy, giving them contemporary relevance.

Review

"Entering the High Holy Days is a good introduction, and also useful for people familiar with the holidays but looking to participate more fully and derive additional significance from the prayers and rituals." -- Brooklyn Jewish Week

"A comprehensive history with the themes and prayers of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur." -- Publishers Weekly
