For thousands of years the Jewish home has been the vital hub of holiday celebrations, and yours can be too. Jewish Holiday Traditions will show you how to blend art, grace, culinary skill, and religious knowledge with tradition and innovation so that you can host the Jewish holidays in your home with confidence and panache.
I bought this for my library, and was not disappointed! Every Jewish holiday is outlined in here, and explored! especially useful in teaching kids!
I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH, 1 BOUGHT A 2ND BOOK

I found this book so informative that I bought an additional copy for my newly married daughter. Mrs. Burghardt has done a beautiful job in bringing the Jewish holidays alive with not only an explanation of each holiday - but offers extraordinary suggestions for party invitations, music, table decorations, party activities and wonderful recipies.
Holidays Come Alive

Whether your holiday involves a small group of immediate family members, or a party of twenty or more people, Linda Burghardt offers recipes for success. Her recipes include not only those in the traditional sense (menus), but planning tools which guide the host and hostess through practical and spiritual activities that will help all participants to derive joy from the holiday event. In a very engaging way, the book covers twelve holidays from Rosh Ha Shana to Shavout. Included are tips for getting children involved, explanations of torah portions and rituals, and a wonderful plethora of activities for young and old alike. I have found this to be a wonderful guide to holiday observance and one which will certainly enrich my own family's traditions. Kudos to Ms. Burghardt.
