My Jewish Year: 18 Holidays, One Wondering Jew by Abigail Pogrebin

4.0

Not a cohesive narrative-the chapters feel very independent of each other-but a well written, interesting book with some substantial insights at times. The chapter on Yom Hashoah was particularly worthwhile, presenting an important question of whether, how, and when to ritualize the memorialization of the Shoah. Comparisons to Passover were thought provoking and something I imagine I will pondering for quite some time now.
