Sacred celebrations: A Jewish holiday handbook - Hardcover
From Library Journal:
Rabbis Isaacs, who leads a congregation in New Jersey, and Olitzky, the director of the School of Education at Hebrew Union College, present a clear and succinct guide to common Jewish religious and social practice, from the fundamentals of prayer to how to dance the hora. Each entry gives the source of the custom or practice (usually a passage from the Hebrew Bible or Talmud), basic steps, key words and phrases, and suggestions for further reading. While The Jewish Catalog (1973) remains the best and most comprehensive single source, much of the information presented here is hard to find, and the clarity of the rabbis' presentation makes this a worthwhile addition to basic Judaica collections as well.
