An Easy Read With Refreshing Insight

A structured summary on the rituals of the Shabbat experience. In between this organized approach is some fresh perspective given from modern families and single people. A vareity of issues involving the Candle Lighting, Prayers, Meal, Kiddush, and other little touches are explored in a descriptive yet easy to read manner. Some warm and inviting pictures help guide you through this guide quite rapidly. Plenty of prayers are included in Hebrew, English Phonetics of Hebrew Words, and English. The chapters are filled in Frequently Asked Questions and appropriate answers. A great motivating tool for people trying to explore this important part of Judaism as each of the questions are answered in a manner encouraging the continued observance of Shabbat.

Birds do it, bees do it...

...even families like yours can do it! Celebrate Shabbos, that is.[Shabbos is the Yiddish word for Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath]In this lucid introduction, Ron Wolfson takes us on a tour of the ways several modern families have incorporated Shabbat into their lives.An excellent resource for beginners, Wolfson includes all the text and practical instructions necessary for adding these practices -- to whatever extent you are comfortable -- to your family's Jewish repertoire.This book is best for families who are learning about Shabbat, but who have no idea how to start. Its only limitation is that it's not about Shabbat observance as a whole. It covers only the first part of the day, the Friday evening meal.(The book suggests that it's part of a series called "The Art of Jewish Living", but I haven't heard of any other books in the series...)So this book isn't the be-all-and-end-all, but it does what it sets out to do with admirable readability and interest. I only wish there were more books like this, describing other aspects of Shabbat and Jewish observance in general.
