Designed to help make Jewish prayer accessible, informative, and inspiring to today's worshipers, this book in the popular series focuses on the familiar "Amidah". This clear, new translation opens up the many facets of the "Amidah" liturgy to modern worshipers.
This momentous, critically-acclaimed series is truly a people's prayer book, one that provides a diverse and exciting commentary to the traditional liturgy. It will help modern men and women find new wisdom and guidance in Jewish prayer, and bring the liturgy into their lives. It also has received significant attention in the Christian world.
The major sections of the prayer book each are covered in separate volumes in this series. My People's Prayer Book provides in each volume:
-- The traditional Hebrew text.
-- A modern translation (designed to let people know exactly what the prayers actually say).
-- Commentators from all perspectives of the Jewish world, some of today's most respected Jewish scholars and teachers, who cover the prayer book's connections to the Bible, history, traditional law, kabbalistic wisdom, feminism, modern developments, and much more.
This stunning work, an important expression of the spiritual revival of our times, enables all worshipers to claim their connection to the heritage of the traditional Jewish prayer book. It rejuvenates Jewish worship in today's world, and makes its power accessible to all.
