Judaica Guide 101
Everything you ever wanted to know about Jewish life, Jewish ritual and Jewish products is available here with this Judaica Guide 101 (2-13-08)
By: Romi Sussman (www.RomiSussman.com)While some people know the Jewish calendar, customs and rituals well, others are less informed about these observances and practices. Whether you’re in the market for Judaica, hoping to start observing certain rituals, or just curious about what your neighbors are doing, this guide should help to clarify and answer many of your questions.
This Judaica guide is certainly not all encompassing and I’m sure there will be much to add as we progress; the goal is to circle through the yearly cycle of holidays, the daily Jewish practices and the occasional milestones.
In addition to explaining the Jewish practices themselves, I hope to elucidate the use of Jewish items. Virtually every event on the Jewish calendar, and in Jewish life, has a Judaica article attached to it. I hope, as well, to clarify their uses and to discuss various functions available with each item.
