Judaism takes everyday and ordinary experiences and transforms them through prayer and rite and, with them, ourselves as Jews into metaphors for the sacred; an enchantment through rite, 'in our image, after our likeness'. To gentiles who want to understand how eternity echoes in the lives of their Jewish friends and neighbors, as it does in Christian life as well, and to Jews who seek to grasp how they in there everyday encounter with ordinary life form part of that sacred society that is Israel, the Jewish people, I offer this book.
