This comprehensive and contemporary guide to the Jewish year cycle serves as a valuable resource for both radical Jews seeking to align their lives and practices with their political commitments and individuals interested in learning more about Jewish tradition, holidays, and rituals. Spanning twelve chapters, each corresponding to a month in the Hebrew calendar, For Times Such as These offers a rich tapestry of spiritual practices and holiday rituals that are deeply rooted in movements for racial justice, decolonization, feminism, and queer and trans liberation.
The book begins with an invocation by liturgist and healer Dori Midnight, which is followed by stunning artwork by artist Sol Weiss. Throughout each chapter, Rabbi Ariana Katz and Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg provide insightful summaries and commentary on Torah readings, exploring the texts, histories, and contemporary customs associated with Jewish holidays. They also offer thought-provoking questions that encourage readers to engage spiritually with the month's themes.
What sets this work apart is its commitment to fostering creative action and ritual making throughout the seasons. It encourages readers to explore anti-Zionist Judaism and embrace spiritual-cultural practices that promote decolonial, anti-racist, queer, and feminist Jewish practices. By delving into these topics, For Times Such as These offers a transformative journey that empowers individuals to embody and expand their Jewish identities in meaningful and impactful ways.
Whether you are a seasoned practitioner of Judaism or someone who is just beginning to explore its rich tapestry, this book is an essential companion for your spiritual journey. It provides a wealth of knowledge, inspiration, and practical tools that will help you deepen your understanding of Jewish tradition and connect more deeply with your community. So, let us embark on this journey together, as we seek to create a more just and equitable world through the practice of Judaism.
