BETWEEN THE PAGES

If observing Rosh Hashanah and
Yom Kippur has whetted your
appetite to incorporate the celebra-
tion of Jewish holidays and traditions
throughout the year, two guide-
books, just released in paperback,
can help.
Jewish Days: A Book of Jewish Life
and Culture Around the Year (Farrar,
Straus and Giroux/Noonday Press;
$16), written by Francine Klagsbrun
and illustrated by Mark Podwal, is
divided into sections for each
month of
the lunar
Hebrew cal-
endar and
utilizes bibli-
cal,
midrashic
and modern
commentary
to
explain the
sacred cycle
of the
Jewish year.
Lucidly explaining the traditions,
symbols, mystical teachings and his-
tory of our major and minor festi-
vals, the book goes beyond to
include a large assortment of histori-
cal commemorations.
Jewish Family & Life: Traditions,
Holidays and Values for Today's
Parents and Children (Golden Books
Adult Publishing Group; $15), by
Yosef Abramowitz and Rabbi Susan
Silverman, rejuvenates Jewish values
and gives fun and often unique sug-
gestions for incorporating traditions
into everyday life.
In each of the book's three sec-
tions, the husband and wife team
investigates contemporary issues in
raising children and shows concrete
ways in
which
Judaism can
play a practi-
cal role in
enriching a
family's
moral and
spiritual edu-
cation.
The
authors offer
solutions to
dealing with issues like interfaith
dating and intermarriage and cele-
brating holidays like Halloween and
Valentine's Day while keeping a
Jewish perspective.
