A Gratefulness Guide to Jewish Festivals

About the Book

"The author presents a colorful, concise yet  comprehensive, highly readable  understanding of the festival occasions on the Jewish calendar. Unlike the many other works on the Jewish holidays, he directs the reader's attention to the spiritual principle of gratefulness embedded in the very fabric and soul of each sacred Jewish celebration and commemoration.

The work incorporates not only textual interpretation and explanation, but  also pictorial images, color, design, poetry and song .

In sum, this guide speaks not only to one's mind, but to the heart and  imagination as well."
