My People's Prayer Book Volume 1
Edited by Rabbi Lawrence A. Hoffman
7"x10" (168 Pages)Publisher: Jewish Lights, 1997
Part of the "My People's Prayer Book" series.

Volume 1 examines the oldest and best-known prayer - memorized by children for recitation at bedtime, by observant Jews three times a day, and the last prayer recited on a Jew's deathbed. The Sh'ma frames a Jewish life. The Sh'ma, the affirmation of faith, is the most familiar and loving entryway into the Siddur.

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). >LI?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.
