More about the book

This luxury volume is a beautiful and moving visual record of the ancient traditions that form the cornerstones of Jewish existence. Full-page images of precious religious artefacts such as the Holy Ark and the Sabbath candlesticks, but also holy sites including synagogues and the Mount of Olives, accompany a thought-provoking text by Rabbi Marc-Alain Ouaknin. He provides answers to many fundamental questions about the traditions of Judaism, discussing not only their origins and application today, but also religious holidays and feasts according to the Jewish calendar.
