Symbols of Judiasm demonstrates that Jews around the world, despite the cultural diversity among their respective countries, follow the same rituals, celebrate the same festivals, read and study the same texts, and share the same collective memory. As part of Assouline’s Symbols of Religion Series, the richly illustrated volume highlights how significant these emblems have served to bridge the gap between the human and the divine.
Written by French rabbi and philosopher Marc-Alain Ouaknin, with atmospheric photography by Laziz Hamani, the title explores the rituals and cultural symbols of this ancient faith, offering insightful commentary on the meanings behind the holidays around the Jewish calendar; the significance of the Sabbath, the Torah, and the mezuzah; and more. Symbols of Judaism illustrates how every civilization and culture has its own rites and symbols that form the cornerstone of a collective existence, of material, intellectual, and spiritual life.
