Fwd: New from OU Press - Bridging Traditions: Demystifying Differences Between Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jews
---------- Forwarded message --------- From: OU Press<oupress@ounetwork.org> Date: Tue, Jan 18, 2022, 7:03 PM Subject: New from OU Press - Bridging Traditions: Demystifying Differences Between Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jews To: <agentemes4@gmail.com>
As the rabbi of a Sephardic synagogue for over twenty years who is himself of Ashkenazic descent and trained in Ashkenazic yeshivot, Rabbi Haim Jachter has a unique vantage point from which to observe the differences in customs and halachot between Ashkenazim and Sephardim. In his new book, Rabbi Jachter applies his wide-ranging expertise to explicating an encyclopedic array of divergences between Ashkenazic and Sephardic halachic practice, while also capturing the diversity within different Sephardic communities.
Bridging Traditions is essential reading for Jews of all origins who are interested in understanding their own practices and appreciating those of their brethren, and in seeing the kaleidoscope of halachic observance as a multi-faceted expression of an inner divine unity.
