Summary:
This anthology of
prayers
written for and by
Jewish
women
draws from a variety of
Jewish
traditions, through the ages, to commemorate every occasion and every passage in the cycle of life, from the mundane to the extraordinary. This elegant volume includes special
prayers
for the Sabbath and holidays and important dates of the
Jewish
year;
prayers
to mark celebratory milestones, such as bat mitzvah, marriage, pregnancy, and childbirth; and
prayers
for comfort and understanding in times of tragedy and loss. Each prayer is presented in Hebrew and in an English translation, along with commentary on its origins and allusions. Culled from a wide range of sources, both geographically and historically, this collection testifies that
women
's
prayers
were--and continue to be--an inspired expression of personal supplication and desire.--From publisher description.
