The Jewish High Holidays--the ten days beginning with the New Year
Festival of Rosh Hashanah and culminating with Yom Kippur, the Day
of Atonement--constitute the most sacred period of the Jewish year.
During this season, religious as well as nonaffiliated Jews attend
synagogue services in unparalleled numbers. Yet much of what they
find there can be unwelcoming in its patriarchal imagery, leaving
many worshipers unsatisfied.
For those seeking to connect more deeply with their Judaism, and
for all readers in search of a contemplative approach to the themes
of the fall season, poet and scholar Marcia Falk re-creates the
holidays' key prayers and rituals from an inclusive perspective.
Among the offerings in The Days Between are Hebrew and English
blessings for festive meals, prayers for synagogue services, and
poems and meditations for quiet reflection. Emphasizing
introspection as well as relationship to others, Falk evokes her
vision of the High Holidays as "ten days of striving to keep the
heart open to change."
Accessible and welcoming to modern readers, The Days Between is
steeped in traditional sources and grounded in liturgical and
biblical scholarship. It will serve as a meaningful alternative or
supplement to the traditional liturgy for individuals, families,
synagogues, and communities small and large--that is, for all who
seek fresh meaning in the High Holidays.
