Opens up the traditional Jewish prayer book as a spiritual
resource....This groundbreaking new series involves us in a personal
dialogue with God, history and tradition, through the heritage of
prayer.
"The prayer book is our Jewish diary of the centuries, a collection of
prayers composed by generations of those who came before us, as they
endeavored to express the meaning of their lives and their relationship
to God. The prayer book is the essence of the Jewish soul."
This stunning work, an empowering entryway to the spiritual revival of
our times, enables all of us to claim our connection to the heritage of
the traditional Jewish prayer book. It helps rejuvenate Jewish worship
in today's world, and makes its power accessible to all.
Vol. 10--Shabbat Morning: Shacharit and Musaf (Morning and
Additional Services) features the authentic Hebrew text with a new
translation that lets people know exactly what the prayers say.
Introductions explain what to look for in the prayers, and how to truly
use the commentaries to find meaning in the prayer book.
Framed with beautifully designed Talmud-style pages, commentaries from
many of today's most respected Jewish scholars from all movements of
Judaism examine Shacharit and Musaf from the perspectives of ancient
Rabbis and modern theologians, as well as feminist, halakhic, Talmudic,
linguistic, biblical, Chasidic, mystical, and historical perspectives.
