Description

Each of the major Jewish holidays and festivals includes special traditions and customs. In the fall, people eat apples dipped in honey to celebrate the new year's sweetness on Rosh Hashanah. Glowing candles are an important symbol during the eight-day winter holiday of Hanukkah. In the spring, five special foods are eaten at Passover. Clear text and vibrant photos help readers gain a greater understanding of these and other Jewish traditions.
