Deciphering the meaning of Jewish prayer,
By Robert A. Fried (Portland, ME USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jewish Liturgy as a Spiritual System: A Prayer-by-Prayer Explanation of the Nature and Meaning of Jewish Worship (Paperback)
This marvelous book obviously was a labor of love for its author, a practicing attorney, who wrote 214 pages with 814 footnotes! Its premise is that the Jewish prayer service is about consciousness -- specifically, that the order of prayer is designed to induce particular mind-states in the worshipper and create a spiritual community within the synagogue. Rosenberg makes the excellent point that those who would modify the traditional liturgy (and I count myself among them) first should understand the purpose of that being modified. Reading this book will enhance your understanding of prayer in general, and it will make shul-going more meaningful
