Product Description
On the eve of Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, the Kol Nidre prayer is chanted to the same haunting melody in synagogues the world over. In this lyrical tale, three generations of a family explore the mystery of the prayer from the perspective of its youngest memeber. Haas’s brilliant watercolors portray the drama and pageantry of Kol Nidre, a time of forgiveness and repentance in a setting of tradition and community.
