Description: THE JEWISH HOLY DAYS Their Spiritual Significance he Jewish Holy Days is based on the teachings of the famous chasidic master Rabbi Yehudah Aryeh Leib Alter, better known as the Sfas Emes (from his last written words, "Lips of truth, Sfas Emes, stand firm forev-er," Proverbs 12:19). In his classic work, Rabbi Alter discusses the spiritual and divine dimensions of each of the Jewish holy days. Moshe Braun focuses on the central ideas of the holy days and clarifies them through explanations and parables, elucidating their essence and affording the reader a more profound and enlightened appreciation of the festivals celebrated in Jewish homes each year. Only by learning and delving into their essence in all their dimensions can one experience the holidays in their fullness.
