About this listen

In the tradition of The Year of Living Biblically by A. J. Jacobs and Walking the Bible: A Journey by Land Through the Five Books of Moses by Bruce Feiler comes Abigail Pogrebin's My Jewish Year, a lively chronicle of the author's journey into the spiritual heart of Judaism.

Although she grew up following some holiday rituals, Pogrebin realized how little she knew about their foundational purpose and contemporary relevance; she wanted to understand what had kept these holidays alive and vibrant, some for thousands of years. Her curiosity led her to embark on an entire year of intensive research, observation, and writing about the milestones on the religious calendar.

Whether in search of a roadmap for Jewish life or a challenging probe into the architecture of Jewish tradition, listeners will be captivated, educated, and inspired by Abigail Pogrebin's My Jewish Year.

Great Summary of Jewish Holidays. Bit too Reform on some of her opinions for my liking but its nice to see other perspectives.
Unfortunately there are occassional mispronunciations in the audiobook.
