A window into Judaism s sacred days throughout history and
today.
Written especially for Christians.
Holy days and holidays provide the peak experiences of Jewish
life. These moments speak deeply to the Jewish soul and animate
Judaism s culture. They encourage Jews to participate in their
shared historical experience, which reflects their covenantal
relationship with God, and articulate Jewish values that have
allowed for the survival of the Jewish people. But what can they
mean to Christians seeking to understand their own faith?
In this special book, Rabbis Olitzky and Judson guide you
through the major Jewish holidays and what they mean for the Jewish
people. Each chapter explores a different holiday and explains the
origin, historical background, customs and rituals that are part of
observance and the holiday s Christian parallels. Examining
observance in both home and synagogue and in all Jewish
denominations this easy-to-use guide to the Jewish holidays will be
a valuable resource for your own understanding of Jewish sacred
time throughout the year. And by linking the Jewish holidays to
familiar Christian holidays and practices, you will be better able
to appreciate the roots of Christianity and how the fundamentals of
Judaism relate to and reflect your own spiritual foundation. Rosh
