This book invites the reader into the heart of Jewish spirituality,
to learn about its idiom and imagery, its emotions and its great
sweeping dramas. It invites the reader to meet six ideal
personalities of Jewish prayer and to get to know some of God's
favorite prayers.
What others are saying about "God's Favorite Prayers":
"God's favorite prayers have all been right in plain sight for
centuries, though never before experienced like this. With his
characteristic blend of chutzpah and humor, Professor Rav Zahavy
makes finding spiritual experiences into a real page turner A fun,
fascinating and totally refreshing way to finally learn how to
pray."
-Dr. Arlene Rossen Cardozo, author of "Sequencing, Woman at Home"
and "Jewish Family Celebrations"
"Tzvee Zahavy's artful melding of memoir, analysis, and typology
enriches our understanding of liturgical experience and encourages
us to emulate him by reflecting more thoughtfully on our own prayer
lives."
-Rabbi Eliezer Diamond Ph.D., Associate Professor of Talmud and
Rabbinics, Jewish Theological Seminary
..". An engaging, humanly sensitive introduction to the types of
religious personalities whose views are expressed in the diverse
parts of the Siddur and, more generally, in components of Jewish
liturgical practices... A fine text for helping students and
interested lay people gain an understanding and appreciation of the
spiritual viewpoints expressed in Jewish liturgical texts."
-Joel Gereboff, Professor of Religious Studies, Arizona State
University
"It is not often that one has the opportunity to share the
authentic personal experiences of a distinguished scholar in the
field of liturgy, who is also an award-winning teacher. These two
elements stand out in Tzvee Zahavy's "God's Favorite Prayers."
Zahavy takes us on an amazing journey into the world of Jewish
Prayer and into the personalities that make up the 'quorum' in the
synagogue. His observations and insights will inspire people of all
faiths, who truly seek out a way to make prayer, both personal and
communal, a meaningful part of their lives."
-Rabbi Shimon Altshul, Director, the Ludwig and Erica Jesselson
Institute for Advanced Torah Studies, Bar Ilan University
