From the Author
This is a book of values gleaned from Passover.
When my publisher suggested this book to me, I wondered if I could truly fulfill the notion: There are plenty of books about Passover already, even though they are generally various forms of the holiday Haggadah. But as I began writing, I realized more and more that this magnificent and wise festival--the original freedom story--is uniquely able to deliver a series of values and ideals particularly meaningful to American life. After all, it's about social justice, empathy, saving the poor and hungry, and everybody's yearning to be free. Passover is as old as the Bible and as new as America's civil rights revolution. It applies all the way from ancient Egypt to today's Bosnia. But above all, it's about the power of a family meal, the wisdom of a grandmother, the beauty of an old story. When I wrote this book about Passover, I realized that Passover is a book of life--anybody's life.

Thinking Passover: A Rabbi's Book of Holiday Values
Seller: Mad Hatter, West Kelowna, BC, Canada
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Condition: Very Good. Gift inscription on the end page otherwise this is a tight and unmarked copy- DJ clipped-" A leading rabbi presents an inspirational perspective on the traditions of Passover, offering modern-day Jewish families a study of what the holiday can offer them in today's world" From Library Journal: " Passover is one of the most important holidays in the Jewish calendar, yet it depends on an individual's or a family's Jewish knowledge to make the Seder special. The current trend toward decreasing "Jewish cultural literacy" means that fewer people at the table are able to feel the relevance of the occasion. Kamin (Raising a Thoughtful Teenager, LJ 12/95), the senior rabbi of Cleveland's Temple-Tifereth Israel, has tried to fill this void with this work. It is not a handbook but reads as a poetic conversation to whet the reader's appetite and make Pesach meaningful. Kamin's work focuses especially on the elements of social responsibility relevant to Passover, from Pharaoh to the Civil Rights movement and giving to the hungry. Although his book does fill an important need, it will be less appealing to Orthodox or many Conservative Jews because of Kamin's offhand remarks on following Kashrut. However, for the majority of American Jews (either Reform or unaffiliated), the book serves as a useful meditation on the meaning of the holiday.-Andrew B. Wertheimer, Spertus Inst. of Jewish Studies, Chicago"- Reed. Seller Inventory # 21541
