          Greenberg, Irving. The Jewish Way: Living The Holidays. Summit
          Books, New York. 1988. Touchstone Books; 1993; Paperback
          reprint edition. ISBN 0-671873-03-2. [A compelling presentation
          of Judaism as revealed through its holidays. It presents an
          in-depth explanation and interpretation of each holiday's
          origins, rituals and significance. The detailed instructions
          emphasize how the rituals, prayers, foods and song reflect and
          reinforce its central motif. Rabbi Greenberg studies the social
          and theological implications that derive from each observance;
          his chapters on Yom HaShoah [Holocaust memorial day] and Yom
          Ha'Atzmaut (Israel Independance Day] constitute a
          groundbreaking theological view.]
