There are many blessings and prayers for the Jewish family and the Jewish home, from the daily and Sabbath prayer books, the Haggadah, the High Holy Day prayer book, the Talmud and the Pilgrim festivals prayer book. In this selection, Rabbi Dr Michael Shire includes over 100 of the most relevant for enhancing the spiritual quality of Jewish life. The blessings appear in Hebrew as well as in English, and the translation is gender-free. Illustrated with images from illuminated manuscripts, Ashkenazi and Sephardi in origin, the prayers and blessings echo the voices of the past. Introductory passages exploring their history and traditions provide a context for understanding the Jewish heritage in a way which is designed to inspire and educate all members of the family, even the youngest.
