Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Perhaps you are preparing your first Rosh Hashanah meal. Perhaps you remember the candles, apples, and familiar blessings from childhood but want to understand them more deeply. Or perhaps this year's celebration will be quieter, with fewer people around the table.Rosh Hashanah at Home by Miriam Adler is a warm, practical companion for bringing meaning into the season-from the preparation of Elul through the Ten Days of Repentance.Across five parts and 24 chapters, this book connects household observance with thoughtful reflection. It helps you prepare for the holiday, approach selected prayers with understanding, welcome others with care, and turn your hopes for the year into actions you can sustain.Inside, you will find: - Elul preparation that feels manageable: Review the past year honestly, recognize the kindness you received, and choose realistic intentions.- Guidance for the holiday table: Understand candle lighting, evening Kiddush, bread blessings, apples and honey, pomegranates, and second-night considerations.- 20 selected prayer texts and biblical passages: Read Hebrew alongside transliteration and clear English meanings, with explanations identifying each selection's purpose and scope.- Help for sharing the holiday: Include children, welcome unfamiliar guests, and approach differing family customs with respect.- Space for quieter celebrations: Find thoughtful guidance for observing alone, living with grief, or adapting plans to limited energy.- Ten daily reflections: Follow the first ten days of Tishrei with a question, a practical exercise, and an original personal prayer for each day.- A practical approach to teshuvah: Explore apologies, restitution, changed behavior, and the commitments that continue after the holidays.The writing is clear and approachable, with room for sincere questions and different levels of familiarity. Ritual guidance generally follows a traditional Ashkenazi framework while acknowledging community differences.This is a home companion with selected prayers, not a complete machzor or a replacement for individual rabbinic guidance. Its purpose is to help you understand, prepare, and participate more thoughtfully.
