Jews are a people of prayer. They always have been, from the birth of their existence; the biblical narrative depicts Rebecca praying for children, Deborah singing a victory prayer, and Queen Esther impelling an entire nation into fervent prayer.
A Jewish day dawns with an awakening praise and sets with a bedtime petition; meals come and go, and life arrives and flees, on the wings of heartfelt prayer.
A Work of Heart flings the cover off the Jewish prayer book, the prayer services, and the synagogue, to reveal the beating heart of prayer that breathes beneath it all. It reveals prayer as an art and an opportunity, an enriching exercise and a journey of self-discovery, a transformative tool and a productive part of life, a perspective-changer and a moment of self-empowerment. And like every specialized art, prayer must be learned.
