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 Sabbath
candles? How did the Seder originate? Does the Book of Esther, read
on Purim, mirror any real historical events? Long considered a
classic, The Jewish Festivals provides a rich and charming account
of 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 celebrate 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.
