These moments speak deeply to the                 Jewish soul and animate Judaism’s culture. They encourage                 Jews to participate in their shared historical experience,                 which reflects their covenantal relationship with God, and                 articulate Jewish values that have allowed for the survival of                 the Jewish people.

Each chapter explores a                 different holiday and explains the origin, historical                 background, customs and rituals that are part of observance and                 the holiday’s Christian parallels. Examining observance                 in both home and synagogue—and in all Jewish                 denominations—this easy-to-use guide to the Jewish                 holidays will be a valuable resource for your own understanding                 of Jewish sacred time throughout the year. And by linking the                 Jewish holidays to familiar Christian holidays and practices,                 you will be better able to appreciate the roots of Christianity                 and how the fundamentals of Judaism relate to and reflect your                 own spiritual foundation. \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Rosh Hashanah–New Year \u003c\/li\u003e            \u003cli\u003eYom Kippur–Day of Atonement \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSukkot–Feast of Booths                 (Fall Harvest Festival) \u003c\/li\u003e            \u003cli\u003eSimchat Torah–Rejoicing                 in the Torah \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanukkah–Rededication \u003c\/li\u003e            \u003cli\u003ePurim–(Festival of                 Survival) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePesach–Passover \u003c\/li\u003e            \u003cli\u003eShavuot–(Receiving the                 Torah)  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTisha B’Av (Mourning                 and Commemoration) and Other Special Days \u003c\/li\u003e            \u003cli\u003eShabbat (Day of Rest) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111912030448,"sku":"9781580235471","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781580235471_p0.jpg?v=1763792297","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781580235471","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
