{"product_id":"9781644698310","title":"“And You Shall Tell Your Son”","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn\nthis volume, Bible Studies scholar Yitzhak (Itzik) Peleg offers an educational,\nvalues-based approach to the cycle of Jewish holidays—festivals and holy days—as\nfound in the Jewish calendar. These special days\nplay a dual role: they reflect a sense of identity with, and belonging to, the\nJewish people, while simultaneously shaping that identity and\nsense of\nbelonging. The biblical command “And you shall tell your son” (Exodus 13:8) is\nmeant to ensure that children will become familiar with the history of their\npeople via the experience of celebrating the holidays. It is the author’s\nclaim, however, that this command must be preceded by another educational\ncommand: “And you shall listen to your son and your daughter.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The book examines\nthe various Jewish holidays and ways in which they are celebrated, while\nfocusing on three general topics: identity, belonging, memory. Throughout the\ngenerations, observance of the holidays has developed and changed, from time to\ntime and place to place. These changes have enabled generations of Jews, in\ntheir various communities, to define their own Jewish identity and sense of\nbelonging.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Academic Studies Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65533726556509,"sku":null,"price":68.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9781644698310","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
