Book Reviews of Seasons of Our Joy: A Modern Guide to the Jewish Holidays

Book Review: Good Ideas But A Dry Writing Style
Summary: 3 Stars

Although there is some good information within the chapters, it is not the easiest read as the author could summarize the basic points of each holiday more succintly. Also, the author's writing style has a very dry style with little style to cause the reader to be overly intrigued. A few unusual customs were learned here and there. However, the Omer Period discussion leaves some questions. The recipes described are a nice light touch to an otherwise matter of beleif account of the Jewish Holidays. The gloassary and bibliographies are pretty good.

Again, the goal of the Season Of Our Joy was to explain the meaning behind the Jewish Holidays. Jews who have an extensive foundation of their reglion may be able to get more out of Waskow's analysis. But those individuals who are trying to renew their interest in Judiasm may be a bit lost.
