Series: The JPS Holiday Anthologies

Back by popular demand, the classic JPS holiday anthologies remain essential and relevant in our digital age. Unequaled in-depth compilations of classic and contemporary writings, they have long guided rabbis, cantors, educators, and other readers seeking the origins, meanings, and varied celebrations of the Jewish festivals.

The Passover Anthology describes the varied experiences of the Jewish Passover throughout the lands and the ages: the story, the many facets of its celebration in the Jewish home and community, the laws and the prayers, the seder plate and the songs, the art and the dances, and-of course-the games. Showcasing modern writings by Winston Churchill, Heinrich Heine, Hayyim Nahman Bialik, and others, the volumeis a rich resource that today's reflective readers will not wish to pass over.

Reviews for The Passover Anthology

This reissue is good news! I read this rich, varied, and classic series with pleasure and collected the volumes avidly when they first appeared. -Rabbi Reuven Hammer, author of Akiva: Life, Legend, Legacy -- Rabbi Reuven Hammer Throughout my long career as a rabbi, the JPS holiday anthologies have been an essential resource. All the core background is in one place. If I need a holiday story, the anthologies contain a wide range of choices. And sections on celebrations worldwide provide new approaches to festivals. -Rabbi Steven Bob, author of Jonah and the Meaning of Our Lives -- Rabbi Steven Bob
