A Guide to Jewish Religious Practice
Product Description
by Isaac Klein z"l and Supplemented by Rabbi Joel Roth.
This volume is a detailed and comprehensive guide to Jewish practice for home and synagogue, written in the spirit of the Conservative movement.
The many subjects treated in this volume are discussed in the light of traditional Jewish resources (Bibles, Talmud, Codes, Responsa, etc.), and are fully referenced for authentication and further study. The topics covered include virtually everything that might be of interest to the modern Jew: the laws of kashrut and how to keep a kosher home; the meaning and significance of the holidays and how to observe them at home and in the synagogue; laws governing such key life events as marriage, divorce, birth, adoption, conversion, death, and many others. In addition, the volume includes full discussions, from the Jewish point of view, of such pressing issues of current concern as euthanasia, organ transplantation, abortion, autopsy, artificial insemination and women's rights. Also included are relevant decisions of the Committee of Jewish Laws and Standards of the Rabbinical Assembly.
Volume VI in the Moreshet Series, Studies in Jewish History, Literature, and Thought.
JTS Press, 1992.
