Jewish Customs
Exploring Common and Uncommon Minhagim
The range of Jewish customs is as vast as their origins are obscure. Whydo some Jews dress a certain way? Why is challa braided? Why do we givegelt on Hanukka?Even when not halakhically mandated to do so, Jewsthroughout the ages have embellished their behavior with practices drawnfrom classical Jewish sources and non-Jewish folklore.In Jewish Customs, Rabbi Dr. Zvi Ron explores the sources, reasons, and development of some of the most common and uncommon minhagim.
