A terrific overview of the year in realtion to the Jewish Holidays! The explanations are direct, yet go into the deeper meaning of the holidays and how they relate to the seasons and to history. A great buy for educators wanting to understand the Jewish Holidays.

I love the discussions of the connection to natural cycles. For years I felt disconnected from Judaism, and was fed by earth-based European pagan and Native American spiritual practices. Seasons of Our Joy helped me in beginning to explore earth-based practices within Judaism
My favorite book for exploring the Jewish spiritual cycle
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
After almost a decade of living with this book, it remains my favorite for entering the Jewish cycle of observance and celebration. I return to it over and over as a source for creative, meaningful and deeply spiritual ways of participating in Jewish life. The guidance given in this book penetrates the practices and rituals, to allow me to embrace the essence of Jewish spirituality. The book gives an historical context for the days of observance as well as innovative approaches to their celebration. It is a treasure and I give it as a gift when people convert to Judaism, become a bar or bat mitzvah or when they seek a deeper understanding of Judaism.
