Symbols of Judaism

FROM THE PUBLISHER

This book introduces the reader to the fundamental aspects of Judaism by exploring the ritual and cultural symbols of the religion. Rabbi Marc-Alan Ouaknin offers insightful commentary, and basic questions are answered clearly and concisely. Why is the yarmulke worn? What is the significance of the tallith? Why is the mezuzah, a rolled up parchment, affixed to the right side of the front door in Jewish homes? Why are the scrolls of the Law written by hand? Each chapter of the book details the various religious holidays and feasts according to the Jewish calendar, starting with the New Year (Rosh Hashanah).
