Summary

A celebration of Jewish men¿s voices in prayer¿to strengthen, to heal, to comfort, to inspire. This collection of prayers celebrates the variety of ways Jewish men engage in personal dialogue with God¿with words of praise, petition, joy, gratitude, wonder, and even anger¿from the ancient world up to our own day. Drawn from mystical, traditional, biblical, Talmudic, Hasidic, and modern sources, these prayers will help deepen Jewish men¿s relationship with God and help guide their journey of self-discovery, healing and spiritual awareness. Together they provide a powerful and creative expression of Jewish men¿s inner lives, and the always revealing, sometimes painful, sometimes joyous¿and often even practical¿endeavor that prayer can be. Jewish Men Pray will challenge preconceived ideas about prayer. It will inspire readers to explore new ways of prayerful expression, new paths for finding the sacred in the ordinary, and new possibilities for understanding the Jewish relationship with the Divine. This is a book to treasure and to share.
