Festivals of Faith: Reflections on the Jewish Holidays The holidays take on new meanings in the hands of this master of Jewish thought and tradition. Festivals of Faith is a collection of Rabbi Lamm’s thoughts on the Jewish holidays culled principally from his sermons and divrei Torah delivered while he was Rabbi of The Jewish Center. Each discourse individually is a gem, and together they constitute a veritable treasure trove of profound insights and inspiring teachings.
