The observances, festivals, rituals, and traditions that give shape and meaning to Jewish life find loving expression in the vibrant folk art of Malcah Zeldis. From everyday rituals to annual holidays to ceremonies that mark lifeÆs milestones, the thirteen images in this calendar joyfully illustrate the union of the spiritual and the domestic that characterizes Judaism. The first twelve months of this sixteen-month calendar each feature a colorful reproduction, accompanied by an explanation of the tradition portrayed. The last four months are grouped on one page at the end, also accompanied by a painting and a commentary. The calendar includes Jewish holidays, days of the Jewish year, weekly Torah readings, and a list of candlelighting times for selected cities.
