Celebrate!: The Complete Jewish Holidays Handbook

Written for Jews who might not have understanding of the Jewish religious holidays beyond what they learned as children, and who want to heighten their appreciation, knowledge, and ability to celebrate. For each holiday, the author discusses its historic foundation, religious importance, and personal meaning before describing how it is celebrated, ritual items, observance in the home and elsewhere, preparation, religious prescriptions, customs of different communities, traditional foods, and songs to sing and stories to read.
