XII, 316 Seiten / p. 13,3 x 1,9 x 20,2 cm, Broschiert / Paperback. sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Why is the Jewish New Year designated on the Jewish calendar as the first day of the seventh month, and not of the first month? Why do women cover their eyes when reciting the blessing over the Sahhath candles? How did the Seder originate? Does the Book of Esther, read on Purim, mirror any real historical events? -- Long eonsidered a classic, The Jewish Festivals provides a rich and charming account ol the origins, development, and symbolism of the Jewish holidays, and of the diverse rituals, prayers, ceremonial objects, and special foods that have been used throughout history and around the world to cele-brate them. Drawing upon a wealth of knowledge of Jewish folkways and customs, Hayyim Schauss shows how these holidays evolved in meaning and importance, depending on the contemporary needs of those who observed them. Written with passion and warmth, this book will infuse your own experience of the holidays with extra meaning and delight. -- Hayyim SCHAUSS taught for more than twenty-five years at the Jewish Teachers Seminary in New York and at the College of Jewish Studies and the University of Judaism in Los Angeles.
