From Time to Time: Journeys in the Jewish Calendar

by Dalia Marx, Peretz Rodman (Translator), David Ellenson (Foreword)

Time is fundamental to the human experience, and in Judaism it is even more—time is sanctified. Understanding the Jewish calendar is thus essential for fully comprehending Judaism. In "From Time to Time," Rabbi Dalia Marx, PhD, presents a fascinating exploration of the treasures of the Jewish year. The book artfully blends traditional and contemporary perspectives on each Hebrew month and its holidays. Rabbi Marx's insights are paired with striking illustrations; each month also features a diverse selection of poetry, prayers, and songs. Taking a distinctively Israeli, feminist, and progressive approach, "From Time to Time" is a comprehensive, indispensable companion you will want to return to each season.

Seems like a great book, but my Kindle version was very difficult to read with my vision issues. Bummer!

This book is full of great information and a few sections gave me valuable new insights. Unfortunately I found it pretty dry - something about it was hard to get through.

Read for JIC

I liked the way this book was broken into the months of the Jewish Calendar. It was easy to read the 30 or so Pages over the course of the month.

I enjoyed the female perspective.
