Jewish liturgy

a guide to research

"Jewish Liturgy: A Guide to Research enables the reader to access intelligently the rich bibliography now available in English. In this volume, Ruth Langer, an expert on Jewish liturgy, provides an annotated discussion of the most important books and articles, on topics ranging historically from the liturgy of the Second Temple period and the Dead Sea Scrolls to today, addressing the synagogue itself, its daily, weekly, and festival liturgies and their components, home rituals and the life cycle, as well as questions of liturgical performance and theology. Introductions to every section orient the reader and provide necessary background"--
