First published in 1915, "Laws and Customs of Israel" is a comprehensive overview of Jewish culture and law originally intended for Jewish schools. Michael Friedländer (1833 - 1910) was an Orientalist and principal of Jews' College, London. He is most famous for his English translation of Maimonides' "Guide to the Perplexed", the most popular translation until the more recent work of Shlomo Pines. It remains in print to this day. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in the Jewish religion and it's culture, laws, and history. Contents include: "Daily Conduct", "Rules Concerning Dress", "Rules Concerning the Benedictions", "Laws of the Fringes", "The Rules of Tephillin", "Rules Concerning the Mezuzah", "The Rules of the House of Prayer", "The Rules a to Minyan", "Rules for the Reader", "The Rules of Morning Prayer", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
