Synopsis
From the book Jacket: Circling the Jewish calendar from Rosh Hashanah to Tisha Bav, this lively, accessible guide leads the reader on a spiritual journey through the year. Seasons of Our Joy explores: the meaning of each holiday in relation to the history of the Jewish people and individual spirituality how the place of each holiday in the cycle of the moon and the changing seasons affects the mood of the day ritual and spiritual ways to prepare for each festival-including recipes, songs, prayers, and suggestions for new approaches to holiday observance "A wonderful blend of information and innovation that will help readers find both traditional and new meaning in the Jewish holidays." -JUDITH PLASKOW, author of Standing Again at Siitai "Arthur Waskow's unique voice, at once eloquent, musical, creative, and passionate, rings throughout Seasons of Our Joy, weaving together strands of Jewish life: the meaning of our ceremonies and celebrations; the spirituality of the individual; the essential fragility and wonder of the world entrusted to us; the mystical chains which bind together the generations; and, permeating all of that, Waskow's powerful Jewish vision of peace and justice." -RABBI DAVID SAPERSTEIN, Director, Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism "Seasons of Our Joy brings reverent renewal to ancient practices. And it presents new understandings and approaches which we are invited to sanctify. This book will heighten your awareness of the eternal religious power of the Jewish calendar." -RABBI GORDON TUCKER, Dean, Jewish Theological Seminary
