A Gift of Prayer: The Spirituality of Jewish Women »

What are the prayers that women pray, the meditations of their hearts? Women of Reform Judaism, The Federation of Temple Sisterhoods, has collected the writings of its members and of women rabbis to create this gift book of personal prayers, poetry, reflections and meditations for every occasion in a woman s life. A Gift of Prayer speaks to women of all faiths, celebrating life s joys and offering the comfort needed to endure the struggles and crises we all face. In A Gift of Prayer, women share their hopes and doubts with usand with God. They grope for understanding, rejoice at the birth of a grandchild, remember seeing a loved one for the last time, or say a blessing upon seeing a rainbow. Their writings are accompanied by the work of Jewish artists on the theme of prayerprayer inspired by nature, by ritual or by awe of the Divine. The result is a gift of words and art for every woman.
