Description

Francine Klagsbrun & Mark Podwal. A Jewish life is lived in cycles of sacred time: weeks from Sabbath to Sabbath, months in the turning of the new moon, & the entire year in a cycle of seasons & festivals. Through the centuries, Jews have also marked other dates on their calendars to celebrate the lives of prophets, leaders, & scholars & to commemorate the joys & traumas of their long history. Takes you through every month of the Hebrew calendar, discussing & analyzing its special days. The stunning paintings & witty drawings bring the year’s varying moods vividly to life. Will fascinate people who are first learning about Jewish culture & thought & will challenge those who are more knowledgeable.
