About the Book

Why is Chanukah celebrated close to Christmas one year, but closer to Thanksgiving another year? Why do Jews exchange presents on Chanukah? What is Purim, and why do Jews dress in costumes when they go to synagogue on that day? And what are the Four Questions anyway?After reading The Non-Jew's Guide to Jewish Holidays, you will know the answers to these questions and more. This book will explain why the Jewish holidays are observed and the rituals that are followed during the observances. You will also learn why the holidays are celebrated on different days on the secular calendar each year.Written by best-selling author Elizabeth Reynolds, this book is the one to buy if you want to learn more. It covers the Jewish holidays in chronological order beginning with the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. The holidays included in this book are Shabbat (Sabbath), Days of Awe - Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), Shemini Atzerit (Eighth Day of Assembly) and Simchat Torah (Joy of the Torah), Chanukah (Festival of Lights), Tu B'Shevat (New Year for Trees), Purim (Feast of Lots), Pesach (Passover), Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), Shavuot (Festival of Weeks), and Tisha B'Av (The Fast of Av).
About the Author: Hi! I'm Elizabeth Reynolds, author of the best-selling book, The Non-Jew's Guide to Jewish Ceremonies. I've now written this new book, The Non-Jew's Guide to Jewish Holidays, at the request of some of my non-Jewish friends who wanted to learn more about those holidays. Whether you're a non-Jew looking to learn more about the Jewish religion or a Jew who, like me, grew up in a non-religious Jewish home, I think you'll find my "guidebooks" packed with information about the Jewish culture. I've been married to a non-Jew for 18 years, so I've had abundant experience in explaining Jewish holidays and customs to my husband's family. I hope you will find my books enriching and enjoyable. I'm also the author of Are You Ready to Be a Substitute Teacher? Practical Tips for Keeping Your Sanity. Working as a substitute has been fun, rewarding, annoying and wearisome - sometimes all in the same day. In this book, I share my experiences so you'll be able to find more of the positives and fewer of the negatives that can accompany the job of substitute teacher.
