Book Overview
This book captures the richness and vitality of traditional Jewish culture: a web of legend, folklore and superstition that is crucial to understanding Judaism. Topics include Jewish law, literature and poetry; the festivals of the Jewish year; the languages and sub-groups within the Jewish community; and the many countries that Jews have lived in. The book also reveals another side of Judaism, a world populated by angels and demons, sages and Kabbalists, and creatures unknown to zoologists.

Jewish Lore and Legend
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Excellent dictionary for anyone who needs quick access to information about Jewish Customs and history for non academic circles. Bought my second one for my practising Christian sister who sometimes needs to explain to fellow Christians the origins of their church.
very nice book

I would like to say that this book is a very nice collection of everything connected with judaism. They have 222 beautiful pictures inside and if you are looking for anything from Aaron to Zohar you will find it here. I am very glad that I found this dictionary and I think you will too.
Very revealing!
