Synopsis

Kavanah And Holy Days by Stephen Astor (363 pages) In Kavanah And Holy Days, book two of The Second Coming of Moses, Moshe asks why Jewish people celebrate Rosh HaShanah in Tishri, the seventh month of the year, when God has commanded the Hebrew people to mark Nissan the first month of the year? He wonders why his parents allow his sister to hang a mizrach on south facing wall of the family sukkah when tradition says a mizrach must face east? These and other questions confound young Moshe as he comes of age in the Jewish Pale of Settlement and tries to match his religion's sometimes conflicting customs and traditions with God's intention for the Hebrew people.At the same time his parents, Yocheved and Amram, try to understand God's intention for their son, for they have arranged to adopt Moshe to Tsar Alexander's daughter and they worry that, living in a Christian home, he will lose his Jewish identity. What can a parent do to fortify a child to remain true to God? Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, Kavanah And Holy Days is a Jewish coming of age story, set against the backdrop of nineteenth century Eastern Europe where Jews lived under the oppressive Romanov regime and prayed to God to send the Mosheeach to rescue them.
