Présentation de l'éditeur

How is this book different from all other books? In 1001 Questions and Answers on Pesach, Rabbi Jeffrey Cohen presents the first comprehensive volume of its kind to provide as much information as possible on every aspect of the festival of Pesach. This veritable encyclopedia of Pesach features easily digestible information on the history of the festival, its talmudic and halakhic sources and prescriptions, its liturgy and commentaries on the Haggadah, the practicalities of preparing for the festival, the do s and don ts of festival observance, and the unique customs of exotic Jewish communities around the world. It also features Seder quiz questions and activities for younger generations. For the traditional Jewish reader, this volume covers all of the halakhic dimensions concerning the observance of the festival. For those who simply enjoy participating in the Pesach Seder and listening to the stories recited from the Haggadah, this book will reawaken interest in the fascinating traditions of a festival celebrated by Jews all over the world. In presenting all the laws and customs of the festival, Jeffrey Cohen states the basic principles upon which they are based and describes them in the context of their historical and sociological evolution. Not only does he provide a compendium of the laws found in the major codes of Jewish Law but he also cites present day halakhic opinion and unique modern day issues and situations. 1001 Questions and Answers on Pesach is an indispensable guide for students, converts, teachers, newlyweds, parents, rabbis, laymen, those who are preparing their homes for Pesach, and those who seek to enrich and enliven their Seder with questions and answers on every detail of the festival, the ritual, and the Haggadah.
