Welcome to the Cavalcade ebook

A celebration by his rabbinic and academic colleagues of Rabbi Professor Jonathan Magonet’s unique contribution to the Jewish and wider world. On the occasion of his 70th birthday, these essays – by Jews, Christians and Muslims – reflect Jonathan’s love of Bible and special approach to biblical exegesis, his innovations in liturgy, his creativity in poetry and song, his commitment to interfaith explorations, and the ways in which he has fostered individual and original voices who have added to the richness and complexity of religious life today. This Festschrift combines academic essays with more personal reflections from scholars and friends from around the world and contains a full bibliography of Jonathan’s published work as well as an overview of Jonathan’s achievements from his friend and colleague Rabbi Lionel Blue.
