Rediscovering the Jewish Holidays

Based on the best selling book The Tapestry of Jewish Time by Rabbi Nina Beth Cardin, Rediscovering the Jewish Holidays invites your students to not only share in the treasures of Judaism—its core truths and values—but also to enrich our tradition by making their own contributions to modern Jewish life.
Lavishly illustrated with more than 170 full-color photographs and the midrashic art of contemporary Judaic artists, the opening chapters introduce the Jewish calendar and the concept of Judaism as an evolving tradition. Each chapter then presents a key holiday, including background information, the details of observance, and a variety of engaging special features that enrich student understanding and ability to participate in and affect Jewish life.
