tales from the Jewish life cycle

Edición de la obra Sacred moments

Sacred Moments: Tales from the Jewish Life Cycle is a collection of stories that convey the meaning and the value of pivotal events that occur in the journey of life, beginning with the creation of man and including circumcision, maturation, love, marriage, conversion, old age, and death. Ronald Isaacs and Kerry Olitzky have gathered material from traditional sources such as the Bible, Talmud, and Midrash, as well as modern sources. The editors have also included stories inspired by actual events in people's lives, thus creating a true-to-life volume that will prove useful for rabbis and others who are looking for the perfect story to share at a particular event in their congregant's or family's life. The story is one of the most effective means of communicating the essential values of the Jewish people. Read these stories for your enjoyment, or share them with your children and friends. Use them in the classroom or during life-cycle ceremonies. Keep them alive - for they have kept the Jewish people alive throughout history. Add to this collection, and allow it to grow as you do.
