Product Description

"Entertaining on the Jewish Holidays" is appropriate for all who are seeking creative, fresh ideas to distinguish their holiday entertaining efforts.
Whether you are a busy housewife, a working mother, or a stylish single with the challenges of playing host – this book will put you at ease and solve all of your entertaining problems.
You will learn to create an effective and original motif for each holiday – using items that are readily available and inexpensive. Symbolism is the key to effective table decoration: The story and spirit of each holiday should be reflected in the décor.
On Purim, for example, using black triangular place mats symbolizes the three-cornered hat of wicked Haman. Placing a Passover plate on a bed of bricks will remind us of the Israelites’ labor under Egyptian bondage.
