The Jewish Book of Why & The Second Jewish Book of Why (2 volumes in slipcase) [Hardcover]
Alfred J. Kolatch (Author)
Product Description
The Jewish book of Why covers all aspects of Jewish life--including marriage, death and mourning, dietary laws, synagogue ritual--with much concentration on the holidays in the Jewish calendar. Because it is virtually impossible to fully understand the holidays without some knowledge of the Jewish calendar, some basic information is presented at the outset.
In this boxed set of the best-selling volumes The Jewish Book of Why and The Second Jewish Book of Why, Rabbi Alfred J Kolatch explores almost 1,000 questions about Judaism, including:
Why is a child born to a Jewish father not necessarily Jewish?
Why is there objection to surrogate motherhood?
Why do some seminaries ordain women?
Why are boys circumcised?
Why is a glass broken at a wedding ceremony?
Why are pork and shrimp not kosher?
Hardcover: 768 pages
Publisher: Jonathan David Pub (1995)
Language: English
