Advance Praise for Weaving Prayer
"Few discussions of the Jewish prayer book carefully separate their historical, literary, and inspirational commentaries. Hoffman's offering, drawn from years of teaching liturgy in rabbinic seminaries and serving congregations, offers an accessible inter-denominational perspective on American Jews' Ashkenazi heritage, both summarizing traditional and academic scholarship and addressing contemporary spiritual needs."
-Rabbi Ruth Langer, Professor of Jewish Studies, Boston College. Author, Jewish Liturgy: A Guide to Research.
"Jeffrey Hoffman is one of the few scholars specializing in the history and significance of Jewish prayer-and he is a good one. He is, equally, a superb teacher of his subject. His work thus combines academic credibility and lucid presentation; and this book will make a significant addition to anyone's library."
-Rabbi Lawrence A. Hoffman, Professor Emeritus of Liturgy Worship and Ritual, Hebrew Union College, NY. Author, Beyond the Text: a Holistic Approach to Liturgy.
"This engaging and erudite volume transforms the prayer experience. Not only is it of considerable intellectual interest to learn the history of prayers-how, when, and why they were composed-but this new knowledge will significantly help a person pray with intention (kavvanah). I plan to keep this volume right next to my siddur."
-Rabbi Judith Hauptman, Professor (emerita) of Talmud and Rabbinic Culture, Jewish Theological Seminary. Author, The Stories They Tell: Halakhic Anecdotes in the Babylonian Talmud.
"The inclusion of both a scholarly and spiritual commentary is a bringing together of two worlds often thought distant from one another. This book should appeal equally to those already familiar with Jewish prayer and to beginners. Difficult concepts are explained in accessible language and the footnotes provide valuable additions for those ready to go deeper. Rabbi Hoffman has provided a valuable addition to the literature on liturgy."
-Rabbi Daniel Siegel, editor of ALEPH's Siddur Kol Koreh project.
"Weaving Prayer is a gift to the modern Jew-regardless of denomination or affiliation-seeking to find their place in the siddur and in the act of tefillah (prayer). Through Rabbi Dr. Hoffman's keen eye for literary structure and his expansive soul that humbly articulates the values and challenges of prayer today, this book illuminates and inspires. As much a resource for study as a companion to keep in hand in worship, Weaving Prayer is a much-needed contribution to our synagogues, schools, and homes.
-Rav Steven Exler, Senior Rabbi at Hebrew Institute of Riverdale-The Bayit.
