A warm, friendly introduction to Jewish Life

In The Rhythm of Jewish Time: An Introduction to Holidays and Life-Cycle Events, Vicki Weber presents a warm and friendly introduction to Jewish life and traditions. Instruction on how to manage the practical aspects of such events as the bar mizvah, the Jewish wedding, or the bris accompany explanations of the traditions surrounding these and other Jewish life events. Prayers for the occasions are included in both Hebrew and transliteration. And of course, with every Jewish life cycle event or holiday, there is food, so several useful recipes are also included. A good introduction for someone new to Judaism or seeking to increase his or her level of observance, and a handy reference for anyone to find the proper blessing or a nice recipe for matzoh balls.

A GREAT GUIDE

An excellent resource for any Jewish family looking for information on Jewish holidays or just looking for new ideas on bringing observance into daily life. It is enteraining as well as instructive. This would be an excellent gift for newlyweds, for new parents, or for anyone seeking a straightforward overview of Jewish practices.
