Here, at last, is the ultimate one-volume how-to handbook for living a Jewish life. The Rhythm of Jewish Time is a must-have for every Jewish home. With its comprehensive walk through the Jewish calendar and life-cycle, enriched by dozens of explanatory photographs, this book helps families bring Jewish tradition into their homes.

This book is divided into three sections:

  1. The Rhythm of Our Lives explains the meaning of the customs central to Jewish life-cycle events
  2. The Rhythm of Our Year presents the feasts, fasts, and festivals that mark the passage of the Jewish year
  3. The Rhythm of Our Homes is a guide to the ritual objects, blessings, songs, stories, and foods that make each holiday unique

Whether read cover to cover or used as a reference book, this volume deserves a spot on every Jewish bookshelf. An ideal gift from the congregation to its new families.
