Ever wonder about the ancient Jewish customs? How did they begin? Are they all Biblical? Are they relevant today? This book gives answers to your questions about Jewish customs and culture in an easy-to-read format. It is a great reference because the chapters are divided according to each custom. I would highly recommend this book to anyone desiring to understand Jewish culture and the Biblical roots to Christianity. I would also recommend Rabbi Kasdan's "God's Appointed Times" as a guide to the feasts and celebrations in the Old Testament and their relevance to today's Christian. I have bought dozens of copies of both of these books to give to my friends and relatives who wish to have a better understanding of our Jewish roots.
