Were Our Mouths Filled With Song - Studies in Liberal Jewish Liturgy

Since the period in which the Jewish liturgy was standardized, there has hardly been a time when it was not in a state of flux. Friedland explores the countless ways that the Siddur, Mahzor and Haggadah have been adjusted or transformed so as to faithfully mirror modern Jews' understanding of themselves, their place in society, and their sancta.
