The Story
How do the Jews observe the Sabbath? Can you explain Passover and Yom Kippur to me? My children have been invited to a friend's bar mitzvah - what is this? Do Jews and Christians have anything in common? In How Firm a Foundation, Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein answers these questions with his rich presentation of Jewish life: beliefs and practices, festivals and holy days and the Jewish life cycle, including rites of passage, worship practices and dietary laws. Eckstein skillfully frames Jewish beliefs and practices in their historical context and offers the reader an understanding of the contemporary experience of the Jews: the Holocaust, the birth of Israel, and the diversification of the Jewish experience.
