The Jewish Holidays: Precursor to Redemption (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781934440421)

The essays included in this collection--one for each Jewish holiday, Shabbat, and Rosh Chodesh--present readers with new and challenging concepts, arguing that an individual's essence is mostly defined by his or her deeds rather than theoretical knowledge. Rabbi Yosef Gabay asserts that in order to give power to God and hasten redemption, readers should infuse their daily pursuits with the sanctity of Shabbat and the Jewish holidays. In doing so, the celebration of holidays becomes more than a commemoration of a historical event; it becomes an act of spiritual renewal for both Jewish individuals as well as the larger world.
