Studies in Jewish Prayer

Zusammenfassung This volume offers new insights into the origins of formal Jewish prayer, using Dead Sea Scrolls material and related texts. It also looks at the relationship between magic and prayer in Rabbinic thought. Modern Jewish prayer is examined from the point of view of Hasidic traditions and practices and there is a modern re-reading of the Haggadah.
