<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>How to Run a Traditional Jewish Household</i> is a modern, comprehensive guide covering virtually every aspect of Jewish home life. It provides practical advice on how to manage a Jewish home in the traditional way and offers fascinating accounts of the history behind the tradition. In a warm, personal style, Blu Greenberg shows that, contrary to popular belief, the home, and not the synagogue, is the most important institution in Jewish life. <p/>Divided into three large sections--The Jewish Way, Special Stages of Life, and Celebration and Remembering--this book educates the uninitiated and reminds the already observant Jew of how Judaism approaches daily life. Topics include prayer, dress, holidays, food preparation, marriage, birth, death, parenthood, and many others. <p/>This description of the modern-yet-traditional Jewish household will earn special regard among the many American Jews who are re-exploring their ties to Jewish tradition. Such Jews will find this book a flexible guide that provides a knowledge of the requirements of traditional Judaism without advocating immediate and complete compliance. <p/><i>How to Run a Traditional Jewish Household</i> will also appeal to observant Jews, providing them with helpful tips on how to manage their homes and special insights into the most minute details and procedures in a traditional household. <p/>Herself a traditional Jew, Blu Greenberg is nevertheless quite sympathetic to feminist views on the role of women in Jewish observance. <i>How to Run a Traditional Jewish Household</i> therefore speaks intimately to women who are struggling to reconcile their identities as modern women with their commitments to traditional Judaism.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Jewish and other religious leaders, critics and readers everywhere have embraced Blu Greenberg's guide to understanding, accepting and incorporating the ways of Orthodox Judaism into the contemporary household of the 80s.
