Summary:

Ruth F. Brin, whose meditations, prayers, and poems are collected here, is one of the liturgical pioneers of the post-World War II era. This extensive gathering of her writings from nearly 30 years brings together a wide-ranging search for the power and meaning of prayer. For Jews, prayer is not simply an encounter with God; it is a means of reaffirming one's membership in the Jewish people -- of finding (and creating) significance by identifying oneself with that people and its historic mission.
