Why is Chanukah celebrated close to Christmas one year, but closer
to Thanksgiving another year? Why do Jews exchange presents on
Chanukah? What is Purim, and why do Jews dress in costumes when
they go to synagogue on that day? And what are the Four Questions
anyway? After reading The Non-Jew's Guide to Jewish Holidays, you
will know the answers to these questions and more. This book will
explain why the Jewish holidays are observed and the rituals that
are followed during the observances. You will also learn why the
holidays are celebrated on different days on the secular calendar
each year. Written by best-selling author Elizabeth Reynolds, this
book is the one to buy if you want to learn more. It covers the
Jewish holidays in chronological order beginning with the Jewish
New Year, Rosh Hashanah. The holidays included in this book are
Shabbat (Sabbath), Days of Awe - Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year)
and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles),
Shemini Atzerit (Eighth Day of Assembly) and Simchat Torah (Joy of
the Torah), Chanukah (Festival of Lights), Tu B'Shevat (New Year
for Trees), Purim (Feast of Lots), Pesach (Passover), Yom Hashoah
(Holocaust Remembrance Day), Shavuot (Festival of Weeks), and Tisha
B'Av (The Fast of Av).
