This review is from: Seasons for Celebration (Paperback)
As someone who is new to practicing Judaism, this book was very helpful to me in explaining the basics about Jewish holidays and Shabbat. It is very easy to read and understand. It made it very accessible to me to start having my own traditions practiced in my home, and I've enjoyed the results very much!
