(167 Pages) In Rites of Passage: A Guide to the Jewish Life Cycle, Rabbi Isaacs explains the why and how of the events in the Jewish life cycle. The book, written for Conservative Jews, not only covers the more traditional life cycle ceremonies including chapters on Brit Milah, Pidyon HaBen, Bar and Bat Mitzvah, Marriage, Jewish Divorce and Death and Dying, but also introduces us to some of the new life cycle rituals and ceremonies that have begun to emerge in today’s Jewish communities. These include a Jewish Parenting Ceremony, Simchat Bat, Confirmation, and a Jewish Adoption ceremony. The book’s introduction also contains an overview of the sources of Jewish Law, including information about the Rabbinical Assembly’s Law Committee and Rabbi Isaac Klein’s Guide to Jewish Religious Practice, which are of special interest to those of the Conservative Movement. Rites of Passage also incor- porates the important decisions reached by the Rabbinical Assem- bly’s Law Committee that helps to further define the celebration of life cycle events for the Conservative Jew. Containing a wealth of information and details about the customs and rituals, the legends, folklore and superstition that have been passed down through the generation, this is a valu- able reference book for those looking to enhance their knowledge of the Jewish life cycle: ABOUT THE AUTHOR Rabbi Ronald H.
