Jewish Holidays
A window into Judaism’s sacred days—throughout history and today. Written especially for Christians. Holy days and holidays provide the peak experiences of Jewish life.

The Jewish Holidays
The events surrounding the holidays molded the foundation of the Jews as a nation and are related to their continuity and survival as Jews throughout history. In The Jewish Holidays: A Journey through History, author Larry Domnitch contends that there is a cyclical nature to the events of Jewish history. He writes, "The events that make up the themes of the Jewish holidays did not occur in a vacuum but have recurred throughout history. The actual Israelite exodus from Egypt, or the receiving of the Torah at Mount Sinai as celebrated on Shavuot, may have occurred once, but in a sense the themes conveyed by those momentous events have been repeated over the centuries. This book attempts to give the reader an appreciation of the cyclical nature of Jewish history and a greater appreciation of the holidays and their relevance throughout Jewish history."

High Holiday Highlights
A distinguished pulpit rabbi, author and communal leader, Dr. Silverman has served as spiritual leader for over 50 years in three major congregations in Dallas, Los Angeles and Greenwich, CT. In his innovative approach to High Holiday services, Rabbi Silverman has developed a technique of setting the mood of specific prayers with brief spiritual messages, thematic interpretations and historical background. Interspersed in these introductions he includes fascinating stories and anecdotes to stimulate, inspire and maintain the interest of the Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur congregant. High Holiday Highlights is a collection of his most meaningful interpretations which will be useful for the rabbi in the enrichment and enhancement of the High Holiday service. Lay readers will also benefit from the spiritual messages of this volume.
Entering the High Holy Days
The High Holy Days -- Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur -- are for many Jews the highlight of the Jewish year. The liturgy for the Days of Awe are the longest and most complex of the year, leaving a large number of attendees without a complete understanding of the occasion's significance. Entering The High Holy Days provides historical background and interpretation of the ideas, practices, and liturgy and lends them contemporary relevance to today's Jews. Reuven Hammer received his ordination and doctorate in theology from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. He is the former president of the Rabbinical Assembly and head of the Rabbinical Court of the Masorti Movement.
