Reviews

‘Reuven Kimelman’s works on liturgy have been indispensable reading for decades. This new book is eagerly awaited and promises to make a major contribution to attempts to understand the liturgy in the twenty-first century.’      - Professor Jeremy Schonfield, author of Undercurrents of Jewish Prayer


'Reuven Kimelman's works on liturgy have been indispensable reading for decades. In successive surveys of the Shema and Amidah, and studies of single texts such as Ashrei and Adon Olam, he has detected previously unsuspected themes and set new standards for identifying sources. This new book is an invaluable resource, especially for tracing the roots of his understanding of Shaharit as a daily coronation of God, and will influence future research into what the liturgy may be saying.' Professor Jeremy Schonfield, author of Undercurrents of Jewish Prayer
