Ceremonies Of Modern Judaism (1856) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781120173089)

Ceremonies of Modern Judaism is a comprehensive guide to the rituals and customs of Judaism as practiced in the mid-19th century. Written by Herman Baer, a prominent German rabbi and scholar, the book covers a wide range of topics including the Sabbath, holidays, life cycle events, and prayer. Baer draws on a variety of sources including the Talmud, medieval commentators, and contemporary Jewish authorities to provide a detailed and authoritative account of Jewish practice.The book is divided into two main sections. The first section covers the Sabbath and holidays, including Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Passover, and Shavuot. Baer provides a detailed description of the customs and practices associated with each holiday, as well as the underlying theological and historical significance of the holiday.The second section of the book covers life cycle events such as circumcision, marriage, and death. Baer provides a detailed description of the customs and rituals associated with each event, as well as the theological and historical significance of these practices.Throughout the book, Baer emphasizes the importance of tradition and continuity in Jewish practice. He argues that the rituals and customs of Judaism have been passed down from generation to generation, and that it is the responsibility of each individual to uphold these traditions and pass them on to future generations.Overall, Ceremonies of Modern Judaism is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the practice and traditions of Judaism, and provides a fascinating glimpse into Jewish life in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
