The holidays add flavour and sparkle to the Jewish year. Throughout the year, we remember the gleam in a child's eye as he prepares to tell all about the Haggadah. The same goes for the "special etrog just for me", the giddy preparations for Purim and all the other days of the year when Jews come closer to Hashem. Because that is what these days stand for. They are not just times when we remember events from a distant past. They are times when we relive our history, just as it says in the Haggadah that each generation thinks of itself as if it, and not just its ancestors, had been saved from Egypt. With this book, Shmuel Blitz adds another to his long list of merits. He takes us through the history and teachings of all the religious milestones of the year. From Torah, Talmud, Midrash and tradition, he "quotes" the history of the day and adds a wealth of fascinating information. For each occasion, we learn about the laws and customs. With her enchanting and beautiful illustrations, Tova Katz adds just the right amount of flavour. "My Book of Jewish Holidays" is a wonderful book for children - but not just for children. It's for everyone. Get ready to read, get ready to learn. Shmuel Blitz's book invites you to read it again and again.
