| Summary |
"Providing you with the biblical and historical background of each practice, insight into its contemporary use and significance--including the often divergent approaches of different Jewish movements--and personal stories from rabbis and lay people, this easy-to-understand guide illustrates the deep meaning rituals have in the Jewish relationship with God. Linking these practices to familiar rituals in the Christian tradition, Olitzky and Judson help you better understand the roots of Christianity and how the fundamentals of Judaism relate to and reflect your own spiritual foundation"--P. [4] of cover. |
