Dear Colleagues,
As a brand new publisher of high-quality audio-courses for adult Jewish
learning, we have just published our first title:
"The Hidden Poetry of the Jewish Prayerbook"
with Reuven Kimelman
Here is a brief synopsis:
In his unique journey through the Jewish Prayerbook, Professor
Kimelman brings
together both a historical and a literary perspectives on the main
texts to be
found in most contemporary siddurim. This journey takes you from
Mah Tovu and
other introductory prayers through the Shema & Amida liturgies, to
the Shabbat
service. Each lecture brings to life both the complex meanings of
these beauti-
ful texts, and the literary techniques through which these meanings
come to
life.
Reuven Kimelman is Professor of Talmud, Midrash and liturgy
at Brandeis
University. He is the author of "The Mystical Meaning of
Lekhah Dodi and
Kabbalat Shabbat, and the forthcoming "The Rhetoric of
Jewish Prayer: A
Literary and Historical Commentary of the Prayerbook."
Each book contains:
* 10 CDs, high-quality studio recorded
* 18 lectures of approx. 30 minutes each
* Recitations of each prayer in Hebrew
* Over 100 pages of supporting materials
* Uniquely mindmapped summaries of each lecture's main ideas
* Texts in Hebrew and transliteration
* Custom translations into English
The price per copy is US $225.00. Volume discounts are available.
