Why do we pray? On the one hand, prayer offers us a way to meditate
on the knowledge of God and have intimate interaction with a
personal creator. And for many Jews, it offers a sense of community
and fulfils a need for daily connection with a venerable tradition
and language. Yet for many modern Jews, prayer is at best old
fashioned-or at worst, no longer necessary. In Jewish Prayers to an
Evolutionary God: Science in the Siddur, author Dr. Joel Rutman
provides a new way of understanding the existing language of Jewish
prayer, and he integrates science with Jewish liturgy-all the while
striving to preserve the passion that makes prayer matter. The aim
is to enable Jews to daven (pray) with kavanna (intent), trusting
that science will not pull the rug out from under their prayer. The
poems also continue the ancient tradition of hazzanim (cantors) who
author new prayer-poems.
