Description
Overview Why are Jewish baby boys circumcised? Why does a Jewish marriage take place under a chuppah? Why are our clothes torn during a period of mourning? The Jewish Home explains many of the "whys" of major Jewish holidays and lifecycle events. The birth of a child, the wedding ceremony, b'nei mitzvah, and Shabbat are only a few of the topics discussed in Rabbi Daniel B. Syme's landmark guide. Readers learn about Jewish rituals and practices, their symbolism, and their historical and cultural roots in an easy-to-follow question and answer format. This revised edition of The Jewish Home reflects the changes in Reform Judaism and Jewish life since its first publication in 1988. It is a valuable resource for Introduction to Judaism and adult b'nei mitzvah classes, or for any Jewish household.
