An Important Work

This presentation of Hebrew text with English translation is a 1969 offering from the Jewish Publication Society of America. The readings found here are read in synagogue at different holidays: Passover - Song of Songs; Shavuot - Ruth; 9th of Av - Lamentations; Sukkot - Ecclesiastes; Purim - Esther; Jonah - Yom Kippur. This book is an important companion for a Jewish person as he/she goes through the year. If you're looking for illustrations to move you, you won't find them here. But if you're looking for a light weight edition which will keep you clued in as to what is going on in synagogue, this one is for you.
