How These Words Can Raise Up Your Energy

Here is a refreshing and valuable book in which you can turn to virtually any page and immediately want to underline passages that strike you as significant, elevating, intriguing, and honest. Dr. Felder offers a gateway of understanding for each of the main prayers so that even someone unused to prayer could find their way to a meaningful experience. It also elevated my own prayers in our morning service. I am recommending this beautifully written book to my congregation and my students. --Rabbi Alicia Magal, Sedona, Arizona, author of From Miracle to Miracle: A Story of Survival Beautifully written and deeply inspiring on what it means to be human in these challenging times. I love this book! It's a gift to enjoy and share with others. --Cantor Annie Rose, Emerita, Temple Beth Emeth, Ann Arbor, Michigan Felder shares the deep insights of a lifelong quest for the heart and soul of Jewish liturgy. He offers wise, practical advice to help readers make their own connections with prayer. Our people need this wisdom! --Rabbi Mike Comins, author of Making Prayer Real: Leading Jewish Spiritual Voices on Why Prayer is Difficult and What to Do About It This is an outstanding resource for teachers to look at the specific phrases that Dr. Felder examines, so we can inspire our students to explore their personal connection to these prayers. This thoroughly enjoyable book also provides a safe and accessible model that instructors or parents can use, encouraging their students and family members (at every level of observance and understanding) to deepen their awareness of the layers of meaning beyond the words. --Tami Weiser, Head of School, Stephen Wise Temple, Los Angeles, Member of the Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education
