one of the best resources for non-Jews to learn the 'heart' of the biblical feasts
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2013Verified Purchase
We have bought several copies of The Jewish Way: Living the Holidays and given them to our friends, it is one of the best resources for non-Jews to learn the 'heart' of the biblical feasts. We believe that the Body of Messiah is moving toward a reformation, more far reaching and thorough, than the one that was experienced during the time of Luther ("changing the understanding and expression of Christianity in one generation"). Jesus was not a 'Christian'.........He was/is a Jewish Man, and He is coming back for a Bride that is Jew and Gentile; One New Man...........and he is not coming back on a random day; He didn't come on just 'any day' the first time, but came during the former rain season (Passover; First Fruits; Shavuot [Pentecost])....He again is coming on His biblical appointment calendar; the latter rain (Trumpets; Yom Kippur; Feast of Tabernacles). Don't miss the 'time of His visitation', prepare your heart and begin to learn what the Savior feels about your Jewish Roots..........you have been grafted in! Another book that will thrill your heart is "The Sabbath" by Abraham Joshua Heschel; not just about the sabbath, but really a biblical, priestly view of life; a deeper understanding of time itself. God can't be encountered in things; thus 'build no idols before Me'; He can only be encountered in time, since time is eternal.........

I am not Jewish, but I started reading this book because I wanted to have a deeper understanding of the holidays my friends celebrate. It is so much more than a "how to" or history book. Each chapter is a profound and beautiful meditation on the deeper significance of each holiday to both the individual and the culture. I am nowhere near finished; this is definitely a book that you can't rush. After reading the chapter on Shabbat, I have started celebrating my own (single person's) Sabbath, and it has freed me up in a way that I can't explain. Such a thoughtful and lovely book.

The print quality is terrible! It looks like someone photocopied the whole book and reprinted it. Look closely and you'll see lots of dots make up each word, and there's even a border of normal-looking paper around the dot background. The info is all there, which is probably what I should be reviewing. But ugh! So cheaply made.

Delivered exactly what was described and pictured. This matters to me because I've experienced a bait-and-switch book vendor on Amazon.

This is a lovely, beautifully written introduction to Judaism that this Catholic found absolutely fascinating. I grew up in an overwhelmingly Jewish neighborhood and was well aware of the vastly different culture that was expressed around me. Rabbi Greenberg's explication of his faith is insightful, passionate, and, in places, just plain fun. He grounds the book in the weekly and yearly liturgical cycle. The book reads like a series of sermons on the meaning of the Sabbath, and the meaning of the greater and lesser feasts of the Jewish liturgical year. I was repeatedly struck by how similar to my own Catholic faith is the stance of the believer before God, even as to the changing nuances of the various feasts throughout the year. Highly recommended.

I need to echo Abraham D. Klein's review of the printing from over a year ago. This book was clearly scanned in on an incorrect setting. Probably a screen setting? the text is not crisp as it blends in with the background. The subject matter is very very good 4 and a half stars there. This should be an easy fix Amazon! Lets do it!!

Love the book and its content. Very rich prose. It’s been a great resource. Not a fan of the way it is printed though. The pages look like photocopies. Rather blurry. But perhaps I just got a bad copy.
