| Publisher Description: How does one express reverence and gratitude in a world without God? That question is at the core of this collection of prayers and poems. Words for Blessing the World resonates with traditional Jewish liturgy even as it observes the world through a distinctly modern lens. Words for Blessing the World deals with the theological, the political, and the personal and is presented in both Hebrew and English, anchoring the collection deep within the Jewish tradition. |
