Guide for the Bored: for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798171368692)

Filled with thought experiments, activities, humor, essays, obscure sources, peculiar facts, and whimsical illustrations, Guide for the Bored explores the strange, fascinating, and occasionally ridiculous corners of the High Holiday services. Why do we do the things we do? What would happen if we did them slightly differently? And what questions emerge when you follow the logic just a little farther than anyone reasonably should?

Inside, you'll find things like:

• Things that are not a Shofar
• The Ecological Ramifications of Tashlich
• Minchah Mini-Games
• How to Illuminate a Giant Fish
• Shul Scavenger Hunt
• Rosh Hashanah Zoo

Whether you have five minutes to fill or an entire repetition of the Amidah, Guide for the Bored gives you somewhere interesting to go without leaving shul.
