Certainly the fullest account in print of every aspect of this major festival: its history, theology, philosophy, folklore, rituals, etc. We celebrated the festival this year in a way we had never previously enjoyed - solely as a result of the insights provided by this book. The full and fascinating commentary on the Passover Haggadah made our "Seder" inspirational, and the section for the children was a God-send. It is a must for every Jewish home - and for any gentile interested to understand what Jews are up to at the Passover season, and the background of the Christian festival of Easter.

Pesach is a lesser known Jewish festival, so when a gentile learns of it, out come the questions. "1001 Questions and Answers on Pesach" is a complete and comprehensive guide to the festival, with the thousand and one questions broken down into twenty two sections covering each of the overlying subjects within. They cover everything from the deep rich history to customs and how they apply to modern day Jews who cherish following orthodox methods of their faith. "1001 Questions and Answers on Pesach" is a must for any curious on the festival and want a full and total understanding of it all, and a core addition to academic, synagogue and community library Judaic Studies reference collections.
