Festival Tracts Part II

Description

Amazing attention to detail! Tracts Pesachim (Passover), Yomah (Day of Atonement) and Hagiga (Holocaust) translated by Michael L. Rodkinson primarily focus on the mandatory rituals on important holy days, mainly the Passover and the Day of Atonement. One of the interesting allusions referred to is the ritual of the scapegoat in Tract Yomah. The brief tract, Hagiga, discusses the Holocaust ritual, an observance of the Jewish burnt-offering. Tract Hagiga presents several subjects, including the cryptic Chariot of God, and the names and distinguishing features of the seven heavens.
