The Book of Blessings for the Sabbath and Holidays by Raymond Cintas is a Hebrew-English guide for the whole family to the blessings, prayers and songs of the Jewish year. This is the gold edition, with 264 pages, published in 2007.
The book is arranged in sections, starting with the Sabbath and continuing through each of the holidays. Alongside the blessings, dedications, prayers and hymns, each section includes questions and answers that explain the customs and their meaning. The volume also includes the Passover Haggadah, so one book can serve the family table throughout the year.
The traditional text is set among illustrations, pictures and works of art, finished with metal embossing, gold print and lacquer. It is a practical book for Shabbat and holiday meals and a thoughtful gift for a new home or a family celebration.
