Bøker av Ruth Fredman Cernea

Through a detailed anthropological and symbolic analysis, Cernea shows why the Seder continues to be a fundamental part of the process by which Jewich society creates and defines itself.

With a foreword by eminent philosopher and humorist Ted Cohen, this book brings Nobel laureates, university presidents, and notable scholars together to debate whether the potato pancake or the triangular Purim pastry is in fact the worthier food. The latke and the hamantash are here revealed as playing a critical role in everything.
