Reviews

This engaging book about the cycle of Jewish festivals (including fasts), their origins, their interconnectedness, and their biblical and archaeological roots as well as later adaptations, reveals the spirit of Jewish religion and culture. Its stress both on ritual and the meaning behind the ritual make this book useful to Jew and Gentile alike. Highly recommended for most libraries.
