If you can't learn Hebrew... 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

If you can't read the prayers in the original (and I mean read them for meaning) the Artscroll Machzor lets you know what they really say.

You lose the poetry, the nuances, and some of the esoterica by using a translation. But at least you'll know what the words mean and the footnotes expand your knowledge.

By the way, going to shul more than once a year is a GREAT way to learn more!!!

Editorial Review:

The complete services for Yom Kippur with line-by-line transliteration and translation, commentary, and explanatory essays. Perfect for beginners to Hebrew.

I have purchased four copies of the "Jewish Year: Celebrating the Holidays". The first time, I purchased it at a bookstore in New York, and then 3 from Amazon. It is a beautiful tabletop book, but also full of great information. Children as well as adults will appreciate it. I've shared it with many friends and highly recommend it.

Editorial Review:

In this original and sweeping review of Jewish culture and history, Ivan G. Marcus examines how and why various rites and customs celebrating stages in the life cycle have evolved through the ages and persisted to this day. For each phase of life - from childhood, adolescence, adulthood, to the advanced years - the book traces the origin and development of specific rites associated with the events of birth, circumcision, and schooling; bar and bat mitzvah and confirmation; engagement, betrothal, and marriage; and aging, dying, and remembering.Customs in Jewish tradition such as the presence of godparents at a circumcision, the use of a four-poled canopy at a wedding, and the placing of small stones on tombstones are discussed. In each chapter, detailed descriptions walk the reader through events such as early modern and contemporary circumcision, wedding, and funeral ceremonies. In a comparative framework, Marcus illustrates how Jewish culture has negotiated with the majority cultures of the ancient Near East, Greco-Roman antiquity, medieval European Christianity and Mediterranean Islam and with modern secular and religious movements and social trends to renew itself through ritual innovation.In his extensive research on the Jewish life cycle, Marcus draws on documents on various customs and ritual practices, offering reassessments of original sources and scholarly literature. Marcus' survey is the first comprehensive study of the rites of the Jewish life cycle since Hayyim Schauss' "The Lifetime of the Jew" was published in 1950, written for Jewish readers. Marcus' book addresses a broader audience and is designed to appeal to scholars and interested readers.
