What is Jewish Prayer?: An Introduction to the Theology of Jewish Prayer

by Juan Bejarano-Gutierrez

Almost every religious tradition includes a form of prayer or meditation. That being the case, what exactly characterizes prayer as Jewish? Jewish prayer utilizes the idioms and expressions of the Hebrew Bible and the Sages of Israel. In short, traditional Jewish prayer expresses the fundamental values and beliefs of Judaism. The goal of this book is to provide the reader with an introduction to the theology of Jewish prayer and some of the basic practices associated with certain key prayers. The objective is to provide the student or novice with sufficient understanding to spur him or her to further study and practice.

Simplistic and written very accessibly, perhaps too much so. If you have no knowledge of Jewish theology or prayer this may be a good place to start, but for anyone else, look elsewhere.

Good info

Good information as an introduction to the theology of Jewish prayer. There are some parts where it sort of glosses over but as this is not meant to be a time, the time taken to read it is well worth your while.
