Days of Awe

Résumé du livre

Three inspiring stories illuminate the mitzvot of the High Holy Days: Charity, Repentance, and Prayer, in a strikingly illustrated new edition

Award-winning folklorist Eric A. Kimmel tells stories to dramatize the meaning of each pillar of the holiday-a couple who share what they have, only to find that their samovar keeps refilling, a shepherd who loves God so much that he makes up his own prayers to Him, and a beggar and a Rabbi who together experience the power of repentance.

Sarah Green's striking fresh illustrations set the tone for these stories which help share the most moving days in the Jewish calendar.
