Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the world's most famous and respected rabbis—"a practical explanation of Jewish worship from a spiritual slant" (Detroit Free Press). For both the novice and for those who have been engaged in prayer for years, here is the one guide needed to practice Jewish prayer and understand the prayer book. From the origins and meaning of worship to a step-by-step explanation of the daily prayers to the reason you're not supposed to chat with your friends during services, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz answers many of the questions likely to arise about Jewish prayer. Here are chapters on daily prayer; Sabbath prayer; prayer services for the holidays; the yearly cycle of synagogue Bible readings; the history and makeup of the synagogue; the different prayer rites for Ashkenazim, Sephardim, Yemenites, and other cultural/geographic groupings; the role of the rabbi and the cantor in the synagogue; and the role of music in the service.
Book Synopsis Concealment and Revelation by : Moshe Halbertal
Download or read book Concealment and Revelation written by Moshe Halbertal and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-10 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, great new trends of Jewish thought emerged whose widely varied representatives--Kabbalists, philosophers, and astrologers--each claimed that their particular understanding revealed the actual secret of the Torah. They presented their own readings in a coded fashion that has come to be regarded by many as the very essence of esotericism. Concealment and Revelation takes us on a fascinating journey to the depths of the esoteric imagination. Carefully tracing the rise of esotericism and its function in medieval Jewish thought, Moshe Halbertal's richly detailed historical and cultural analysis gradually builds conceptual-philosophical force to culminate in a masterful phenomenological taxonomy of esotericism and its paradoxes. Among the questions addressed: What are the internal justifications that esoteric traditions provide for their own existence, especially in the Jewish world, in which the spread of knowledge was of great importance? How do esoteric teachings coexist with the revealed tradition, and what is the relationship between the various esoteric teachings that compete with that revealed tradition? Halbertal concludes that, through the medium of the concealed, Jewish thinkers integrated into the heart of the Jewish tradition diverse cultural influences such as Aristotelianism, Neoplatonism, and Hermeticisims. And the creation of an added concealed layer, unregulated and open-ended, became the source of the most daring and radical interpretations of the tradition.

Book Synopsis Prayer in Bible and Talmud by : Nahida Remy
Download or read book Prayer in Bible and Talmud written by Nahida Remy and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-18 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I cannot conceive why only Talmudic scholars should benefit by the wealth of all that is beautiful in Rabbinical literature! Why should not we laymen refresh ourselves with the spiritual food offered by the rabbis?" From the many of my co-religionists of whom I have asked, "Have you a recollection of any prayer in the Bible?" the answer was, invariably, "No." I even met with the counter-question, "Are there any prayers in the Bible?" Most people think, "How strange, nowadays, to occupy one's self with the Bible!" It is not strange. Whoever is conversant with Scripture, and knows its beauties, daily discovers new charms therein. All great thinkers and poets have drawn inspiration therefrom. Goethe found in Job, Schiller, in the Proverbs of Solomon, the most profound stimulus; and who knows to what extent the savants of other nations are indebted to it? In the fact that nearly every family possesses a Bible, and scarcely any knows its contents, is hidden a problem of great bearing. It would indeed be an honorable life-task to solve this problem satisfactorily. But now to our theme. Strictly speaking, the Bible contains but one prescribed prayer. In the laws concerning the first fruit of the earth (Deuteronomy xxvi.) we find the command (verse 2): "Thou shalt take of the first fruits ... (3) And thou shalt come unto the priest ... (5) And thou shalt commence, and say," etc. Then follow verses 6-14, which form an introduction and a historic review. After the words, " I have done all, just as thou hast commanded me" (14), comes the actual entreaty and prayer: "O, look down from the habitation of thy holiness, from the heavens, and bless thy people Israel, and the soil which thou hast given us, as Thou hast sworn unto our forefathers, a land flowing with milk and honey. This is the only prescribed prayer for the people in general. And for what does the petitioner pray? For whom does he pray? Is it for himself? For his house? No! For the people and for the country; that God may bless them, and also the land. Even here the elementary thought of Jewish prayer is clearly and plainly expressed. As soon as man stands before God, his supplication shall embrace humanity. He shall not pray for himself alone but he shall be united in love with the whole world. Everything in the chapter but the invocation quoted above, is precept and command.

Book Synopsis On the Boundaries of Talmudic Prayer by : Yehuda Septimus
Download or read book On the Boundaries of Talmudic Prayer written by Yehuda Septimus and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2015-05-28 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English term "prayer" is usually understood as communication with God or the gods. Scholars of Jewish ritual until now have accepted this characterization and applied it to Jewish tefillah. Does rabbinic prayer indeed necessarily entail second-person address to God, as many scholars of rabbinic prayer to this point have presumed? In this work, Yehuda Septimus investigates a boundary phenomenon of talmudic prayer - ritual speech with addressees other than God. The book represents a fresh look at the possible range of performances undertaken by talmudic ritual prayer. Moreover, it places that range of performances into the historical context of the rapid emergence of prayer as the centerpiece of Jewish worship in the first half of the first millennium CE.

Download or read book Talking to God written by Naomi Levy and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the publication of her best-selling book To Begin Again, Naomi Levy received a flood of feedback from readers telling her how much the prayers in it had helped and moved them. Many urged her to publish a collection of her prayers—and now she has. In a time when we all need inspiration, comfort, and connection, Talking to God will help us reclaim prayer as an integral part of our lives, making it as natural and uninhibited as talking to our loved ones. Prayer is essential to the lives of millions, but many of us are searching for ways to supplement traditional prayers with ones that are less formal and more intimate. Written in a simple and direct style, the prayers in this book—and the wonderful stories that accompany them—are for people of all faiths, and for all occasions large and small. Naomi Levy’s personal prayers address the anxieties and roadblocks we all face in contemporary life. There are prayers for facing a new day, realizing one’s potential at work, celebrating an anniversary or birthday, and going to sleep at night. And there are prayers for the more profound occurrences in life—love and marriage, pregnancy and childbirth, illness, loss, and death. Rabbi Levy’s words, imbued with grace and empathy, touch on the entire range of human experience. Many of us will recognize ourselves in her prayers and stories and will be comforted by them, as well as challenged and uplifted. Perhaps most important, they are stepping-stones for us to go on and create our own prayers, to find meaning in our own lives, and to begin or renew our own relationships with God. From the Hardcover edition.
