A holy book for study before and during the High Holy Days

This is a remarkable collection of commentaries on the High Holy Days and the month of Elul leading up to them . Agnon acts as a Talmid Chachim ( a wise scholar) and as a master creator of literature in putting these commentaries, stories , insights together.
The reading of this work makes reading a religious act. The work could not be more highly recommended.

Compiled by one of the greatest Hebrew writers of the 20th century and first published in 1948, Days of Awe is the long-acknowledged classic companion to the High Holy Days prayer book. Here in one volume are readings and meditations from the Bible, the Talmud, the Midrash, and the Zohar, to deepen the spiritual experience of the holiest days of the Jewish year.
