Festivals of the Jewish year

Description:

Treats of festivals, fasts, holy days--their origins, the rituals, the customs and their meaning in contemporary life. In tracing the holidays to the probably sources, the author goes back to pre-Biblical times where so many religious ideas have their common ground. Of special interest to students of comparative religion.
