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 Contents INVITATION BEGINNING THE PRAYER BOOK THE PERFORMER'S PRAYERS THE MYSTIC'S PRAYERS THE SCRIBE'S PRAYERS THE PRIEST'S PRAYERS THE MEDITATOR'S PRAYERS THE CELEBRITY'S PRAYERS THE KIDDUSH THE SHOFAR SOURCES ABOUT THE AUTHOR REVIEWS Publisher: Talmudic Books

Studies in Jewish Prayer

By: Tzvee Zahavy

In this collection of essays, Professor Zahavy explores the origins and early history of prayer in Judaism. He examines the growth of rabbanic liturgy from immediately after the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE until the close of the Talmud of the Land of Israel. Zahavy shows how rabbanic rules for prayer reflect the historical circumstances of the Jews in late antique Israel. He argues, based on close textual analysis, that rabbis had little influence over the governance of synagogues in the first and second centuries.

Eleazar

Rabbi, Priest, Patriarch

By: Tzvee Zahavy

For everyone concerned with the formative period of rabbinic Judaism, the study of Rabbi Eleazar b. Azariah and his traditions is naturally important. He was prominent as a rabbi, a priest and a politician. According to rabbinic texts, Eleazar was a major figure among the rabbis at Yavneh in Israel in the second century C.E. Rabbinic literature speaks of Eleazar in more than two hundred places. One narrative describes that he was an important political figure at Yavneh and reports that he played a role in the events surrounding the deposition of Gamaliel II from the patriarchate. Many other traditions juxtapose his teachings with those of Aqiva, Eliezer, Joshua, and other major rabbis of the early era.

The Book of Jewish Festival Prayers in English

The Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot Machzors

By: Tzvee Zahavy

This book presents the Jewish prayers for the Festivals of Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot in English with accompanying essays about the main prayers of the service, the Hallel, the basis of prayer, prayer as visualization and the devotion of Jewish life. Jews who engage in prayer agree that they believe their acts of recitation of prayer texts are a dialogue with God. The former Chief Rabbi of the British Empire, Sir Jonathan Sacks, summed this up saying, "Prayer is the language of the soul in conversation with God. It is the most intimate gesture of the religious life, and the most transformative." Sacks characterized the Jewish prayer book saying, "The Siddur is the choral symphony the covenantal people has sung to God across forty centuries from the days of the patriarchs until the present day." He called it a "calibrated harmony.
