More DescriptionThe High Holidays have been typically the hardest time of year for me since they are so full of liturgy I don't identify with. This book is intended for anyone who wishes that there were more High Holiday prayers reflecting contemporary values but still employing the traditional Hebrew cadences. Here you'll find my original poetic compositions in Hebrew, introduced and translated (creatively) into English with notes for people who want to delve more deeply into their meaning. If some of these poems strike a chord, great! If none of the poems speaks to you, I still hope and pray that upon reading them you become mobilized to compose prayers that are as meaningful to you as these are to me.
