5.0 out of 5 stars
The family is the center of this life,
By
This review is from: Family (JPS popular Judaica library) (Paperback)
This volume like the others in the JPS Popular Judaica Library Series covers a basic area of Jewish life and experience. It provides a great deal of information on Genealogy, Proselytes, Birth, Abortion, Circumcision,Firstborn, Adoption, Women, The Intermediate Years, Bar - Mitzvah and Bat- Mitvah.
It has illustrations and photos of Judaica and of Jewish life which give a special attractiveness to the volume. The volume was initially published in 1973, and the transformations in the Jewish family in this time ( Mostly negative ones) are naturally not addressed here. The Jews for generations were known as a people of especially close families. The special caring for each other which existed in the Jewish family was a great source of strength to the Jewish people as a whole. Today in an era in which there is so much emphasis on the 'narcissistic individual' the Jewish family is greatly suffering. This book provides a reminder in a sense of better days.
