The Complete How To Handbook For Jewish Living: Three Volumes in One
This comprehensive guide answers a multitude of questions on Jewish rituals and customs: the basic prayers and blessings and information on baking challah bread, lighting the Shabbat candles, blowing the shofar, and conducting the Passover seder. Rabbi Olitzky and Rabbi Isaacs give instructions on visiting the sick, dancing the hora, eating kosher food, observing the Hebrew calendar, choosing a religious school and synagogue, and putting up a mezuzah. Information on the order of the prayer service, marriage and divorce, the Rashi script, and the 613 biblical commandments is followed by a "how-to" section dealing with such topics as explaining death to children and honoring the memory of the deceased.George CohenCopyright © American Library Association.
