The Jewish prayer book, the sidur, is the longest continuous record
of the history, philosophy, literature and ethics of the Jewish
people. It has been read and reread in every generation, in every
Jewish community.Elobgen's analysis covers the entire range of
Jewish liturgical development - beginning with the early
cornerstones of the siddur, such as the Amidah, the Shema through
the evolution of the meieval piyyut tradition, to modern prayerbook
reform in Germany and the United States. This book traces the
origins of present-day prayers, noting the many variants that arise
within historical periods and different geographic communities. The
work includes generous citations from primary sources such as
rabbinic texts, comparative historical documents, medieval
commentators, and modern scholarship. Included are full
bibliographies and several useful indexes, among them an index of
prayers in Hebrew and English.
