The Jewish Holidays

Beautifully designed book. Great layout. Well written with plenty of meaningful detail and scope. Very enjoyable to read.

I like the pictures and the variety of practices it shows. If you are looking for a how-to book, though, this is not for you.

A guide to the holidays of the Jewish year. Along the outer margins are comments from Arnold Eisen, Everett Gendler, Arthur Green, Edward L. Greenstein, and Zalman Schachter-Shalomi.
