In the last two decades of the 20th century, North Americans have
become increasingly interested in understanding and reclaiming the
rites that mark significant life passages. In the absence of
meaningful rites of passage, we speed through the dangerous
intersections of life and often come to regret missing an
opportunity to contemplate a child's birth, mark the arrival of
maturity, or meditate on the loss of a loved one. Providing a
personal, informed, and cross-cultural perspective on rites of
passage for general readers, this book illustrates the power of
rites to help us navigate life's troublesome transitions.;The text
instigates a conversation in which readers can reflect on their own
experiences of passage. Covering the significant life events of
birth, initiation, marriage, and death, chapters include
first-person stories told by individuals who have undergone rites
of passage, accounts of practices from around the world, brief
histories of selected ritual traditions, and critical reflections
probing popular assumptions about ritual. The book also explores
innovative rites for other important events such as beginning
school, same-sex commitment ceremonies, abortion, serious

Prayer for the Day brings together 365 selected readings from the
much loved, long-running series on BBC Radio 4. The programme,
which has been broadcast daily at 5:43am for several decades, and
continues to attract over half a million dedicated listeners,
comprises a short 2-minute reflection to start your day. These
artfully combine traditional forms of prayer and reflection, from a
variety of religions and denominations, with contemporary issues
and themes that are often relevant to the date on which the
programme is broadcast. In keeping with the theme of 'Prayer for
the Day', there are 365 reflections in the book, from a vast range
of the eminent religious figures and broadcasters who have
contributed to the programme over the years. There is a foreword by
a prominent figure in the faith community, a short profile of each
contributor and an index of contributors. To emphasise the point
that the reflections can be used daily, they are ordered by date
(i.e. 1st January, 2nd January etc), and each entry is selected on
the basis of it being as date-specific as possible. The date of
broadcast is underneath each entry, and dates are also marked at
the top corners of each page so they can be found easily. The
spacious design includes page openers for each month with simple
line illustrations. Prayer for the Day is a beautiful and
inspirational addition to any bedside table, with religious
meditations that both participate in the ecumenical spirit of the
21st century and equip you perfectly for each day's journey.

Arthur Szyk (pronounced ShickA") created his Haggadah on the eve of
the Nazi occupation of his native Poland. In 1937, he relocated to
London, carrying with him the 48 densely illustrated panels that
depicted Jewish heroes like Moses and David triumphing over
Egyptians and Philistines. Three years later, a group of wealthy
English Jews financed a first (limited) edition of The Szyk
Haggadah. By 1956, the plates had found their way to Israel, where
a trade edition remained in print until 2003. Available in the
United States only through specialized distribution channels, this
version became the most popular haggadah of the twentieth
century-at least in Israel. This edition, the first widely
available printing since 1940 to be reproduced from Szyk's original
art, boasts a newly commissioned and incredibly practical text by
Rabbi Byron L. Sherwin, the Director of Doctoral Studies at the
Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies in Chicago. A special
commentary section, which follows the main story of the Passover,
gives insight into both the rituals of the seder and Szyk's rich
illustrations. A master miniaturist, Arthur Szyk studied and worked
in Paris, Krakow, and Palestine during the years before World War
I. His art attracted the attention of the Polish Army in Lodz,
which recruited him to head their Department of Propaganda.
Following the war, he was a popular and highly collectable artist,
traveling to America to promote exhibitions. Hitler's rise to power
in early 1933 prompted Szyk's return to Lodz, where he began work
on his haggadah in earnest. The original version of the haggadah,
which depicts historical Jewish triumphs through contemporaneous
villains, included swastikas on the armbands of the Egyptians.A"
Szyk eventually removed these to make the illustrations more
palatable to European publishers, who were wary of Germany's
military expansions. Szyk's anti-Nazi work was widely published
during World War II; in 1941, Putnam published The New Order,
filled with Szyk caricatures of Axis leaders, and his satirical
drawings of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito graced magazine covers,
editorials, ads for war bonds, and even War Department pamphlets
and films.
