In addition, a detailed halakhic guide presents the laws and customs of different prayers and life cycle events as celebrated across the spectrum of Sepharadic communities. A compendium of extensive notes cites the rabbinical sources behind particular customs and their explanations. With haskamot by Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar, Rabbi Shimon Hai Alouf, and Rabbi Baruch Gigi, and an introduction by Rabbi Haim Sabato.
