I am pleased to inform you about the publication of Nehalel beShabbat - the full Shabbat siddur in the new Nehalel series in which photos give focus to the meanings of prayer.
A free download of Kabbalat Shabbat excerpted from Nehalel is now available at: http://www.nehalel.com/kabbalat_shabbat.html Powerful Photography and Old Text Create New Jewish Prayer Experience Series of Prayer Books Launched Purchase information: http://www.nehalel.com/buynehalelbeshab.html Nehalel beShabbat is the full Shabbat siddur (prayer book) in the new Nehalel series. Modeled on the vastly popular, photographically illustrated Nevarech bencher (Grace after Meals book), which has sold nearly half a million copies, Nehalel brings its groundbreaking format to the siddur-awakening readers to the content of their prayers by juxtaposing stunning photos, which not only decorate, but also powerfully portray the meanings in the liturgy. The wholly traditional, beautifully set Hebrew text is superbly readable, and the new English translation, while remaining faithful to the Hebrew, boldly reveals the prayers as elegant and vividly contemporary. Painstakingly assembled from a wide variety of archives and other sources, the photos match the text against reality in a way never before seen in a prayer book. Spanning over a hundred years, the images highlight the large, intersecting themes within the siddur: petitioning and celebrating the Creator for this beautiful world, for the State of Israel, for the overall redemption of the Jewish people and of humanity as a whole. With over 650 awe-inspiring pages, Nehalel beShabbat is robustly modern yet thoroughly committed to tradition. The focusing of our thoughts achieved by its combination of word and image make it, first and foremost, a siddur for praying with. The series will soon include the equally inspiring volumes for weekday and holiday prayer (Nehalel beChol & Nehalel beRegalim), continuing the encounter with meaning and majesty first strikingly evoked by the Nevarech bencher.

About the Editor/Translator Conception and development of Nehalel, as well as its new English translation, are the work of Michael Haruni. Haruni's academic research background in Philosophy led him to examine the nature of kavanah (the directing of thought) in prayer. He is the creator of the innovative Nevarech bencher, while his stage plays, especially The Stonemason and STa"M, have explored the relation between faith and identity. He lives in Jerusalem with his family.
