This book offers both Jews & non-Jews a basic understanding of the Jewish calendar & life-cycle events which go hand-in-hand.
Fascinating bits of biblical history, midrashic commentary, legend, and lore make up this discursive tour through the Hebrew calendar. Beginning with Rosh Hashana?the Jewish New Year?in Heshvan and ending with the beginning of the creation and Rosh Hashana Eve in Elul, Klagsbrun, an influential Jewish feminist and author (Voices of Wisdom: Jewish Ideals and Ethics for Everyday Living, Jonathan David, 1986) traces the holidays, celebrations, and other notable days of the Jewish year with broad and careful research and some inspired touches of creative speculation. Mark Podwal's highly imaginative watercolor illustrations make this a beautiful as well as a unique addition to both Jewish and general library collections.
