The celebration material in this book is primarily verbal. It is also strongly intellectual and ideological, as well as reflective and sentimental. The style rests on the conviction that celebration events can touch both the mind and the heart; the content rests on the conviction that reason and emotion, inspiration and integrity, humanism and Judaism, are not separate, but complementary.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not as humanist as I had hoped,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Celebration: A Ceremonial and Philosophical Guide for Humanists and Humanistic Jews (Kindle Edition)
Interesting, but I was hoping for a more non-religious group, more humanist non-theist, guide to celebrations such as naming ceremonies.
