In Those Days, At This Time: Holiness and History in the Jewish Calendar

In Those Days, At This Time: Holiness and History in the Jewish Calendar By Eliezer Segal
2008 | 324 Pages | ISBN: 1552381854 | PDF | 3 MB


Eliezer Segal's approach to Jewish history and tradition has often been light-hearted and humorous. Through his web site and newspaper columns, he has reached out to non-specialist audiences with his entertaining style. "In Those Days, At This Time" is a collection of short essays that explore the intricate framework of sacred days and times which make up the Jewish festival calendar. Each piece is devoted to an occasion in the cycle of sacred seasons. Segal investigates the ways festival observances have been shaped over the generations, looking at different interpretations of their rituals, their symbolism, and their adaptation to changing historical circumstances. With such clever titles as "Getting a Handel on Hanukkah" and "The Eggs & the Exodus", these essays bring a touch of whimsy to a complex and deep-rooted religious tradition.
