What reading level is Festival Studies Being Thoughts On the Jewish Year book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He takes the Scroll of the Law from its silver case, removes the bells and beautified mantle, and substitutes a black serge wrapping, simple in its mournful weirdness. In fact, this part of the Ninth of Ab rite is, I feel convinced, derived from Moslem and not from Christian example; it came from the East, not from the West. Surely it cannot be doubted that the dirges, too, are Eastern in type, that the abandonment to grief, as shown in tearfrd, moving, unmelodious tunes, is but an echo of the ...OrientiJ tendency to self-pity. But the Jew has never been a mere imitator, and here, too, he in- troduces something of his own nature. He sets some of the Ninth of Ab dirges to merry tunes and sings joyously between his tears, for he has gone through a real life and knows its incessant contrasts. This admixture of the merry with the miserable is found on the Ninth of Ab all the world over, and it says much for the reality of Digitized by Google 78 "JUDAEA DEVICTA" Judaism. Judaism is indeed a living copy of life, and it showed its marvellous power to win men's love through their humanity in the tradition that just as the Temple fell on the Ninth of Ab, so the Messiah would come again on that self-same day.
