520 |a Steeped in lore and legend, filled with color and vitality as well as scholarship, this beautiful volume tells the fascinating stories of Judaism's holidays and their observance. Each holiday comes vividly alive. The origin and background of each holiday is carefully explained. The rich symbolism, the ritual practices and prayers, the use of ceremonial objects, special foods, utensils, and paraphernalia -- all are traced to their Biblical or historical roots, or to their development from popular customs and folkways. Similarities and contrasts with other religious are noted with scientific objectivity, but not without pride in the Jewish contribution and achievement. Hundreds of surprising facts and little-known sidelights of Jewish history and tradition provide additional delights for the reader. -- From publisher's description.
