Book Synopsis The Biblical and Historical Background of Jewish Customs and Ceremonies by : Abraham P. Bloch
Book excerpt: Each custom is examined both in its original form and through the various phases of its evolution in order to demonstrate its purpose and function in Jewish life: In many cases, it is revealed, the popular folkloristic under-standing of a custom is an erroneous later accretion. Always, though, it is shown how Jewish customs and practices are crucial elements of a lively and living religious consciousness.
