Signed by Leonard Baskin at etching and colophon. A volume issued by the Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR) in an attempt to make festivals more spiritually and intellectually meaningful, providing liturgies and commentaries about how to celebrate often-neglected festivals. According to CCAR, "few congregations seemed interested" in this attempt, though this handsomely illustrated volume testifies to strong countercurrents against perceived secularization it was meant to counter.
