A literary treasure trove!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I found my hardcover copy of this book at a garage sale many years ago for -- dare I say it? --- only 25 cents. Well, their loss was my gain, because it's a FANTASTIC collection of inspirational materials about Yom Kippur, ranging from biblical and talmudic references on how to observe the holy day, to prayers, anecdotes, essays, excerpts, and fiction by such authors as Leo Baeck, Abraham Isaac Kook, Max Artzt, Louis Jacobs, Franz Rosezweig, Herman Wouk, Nahum Glatzer, Israel Zangwill, David Kranzler, Isaac Peretz, Rabbi Soloveichik, Ruth Brin, Martin Buber, and a host of others. Nowhere else can you find so many wonderful insights about Yom Kippur by so many great authors, all between the covers of one book! Especially interesting to me was the chapter, "Yom Kippur in Many Lands," where you can read about how this day is (or was, in some cases) observed among Jews in Lybia, Ethiopia, India, Persia, Old Russia, the London Ghetto, the Warsaw Ghetto, the Dachau concentration camp, among soldiers in Korea and Vietnam, etc. Any one of these stories will inspire you to deepen yoour own Yom Kippur experience. This book is a priceless treasure that you will return to again and again for years to come.
