Publisher Description

Judaism has provided the spiritual framework for millions of people for thousands of years. Yet its basic beliefs and observances often are misunderstood in our modern day. Today most Jews live in Westernized, technologically advanced cities and have become distanced from Judaism's central ideas that were originally developed in non-Western, non-technological and non-urban settings-particularly those of the Sephardim, the Jews of Southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. In this thoughtful and accessible presentation of the Sephardic approach to Judaism's observance and rituals, Rabbi Marc D. Angel reclaims the natural, balanced and insightful teachings of Sephardic Judaism that can and should imbue modern Jewish spirituality. He draws on many classic sources and the great mystics of fifteenth-century Safed, illuminating the influence of the Golden Age of Spanish Jewry on the Sephardic tradition. The result is an approach to Judaism that is deep, rich and diverse. With his keen overview of the sacred times, places and ideas of Judaism, Rabbi Angel offers an excellent primer for those beginning their study of Judaism as well as for those who wish to deepen their knowledge and experience of Jewish spirituality from a Sephardic perspective.
