Gates Of Shabbat

This 25th anniversary edition is a completely revised and updated version of the classic how-to guide about Shabbat observance and practices. This book is about Shabbat--the Jewish treasure that comes around every seven days. In the midst of our freedom, Shabbat offers roots and inspiration, along with joy and hope. In the midst of a world of endless choices and paths, Judaism provides the rich resources developed for living a life of meaning over centuries of practice. In particular, Judaism offers Shabbat as a way to deepen, renew, and refresh our lives. Through additional essays, poetry, and personal insights, as well as many new inspiring and creative ideas, this updated edition of Gates of Shabbat offers a roadmap to discovering and exploring what Shabbat can mean to you.

Profoundly rooted in Jewish tradition, Gates of Prayer has become the standard liturgical work for the Reform Movement. This prayerbook contains a variety of services for weekdays, Shabbat and festivals, Israeli Independence Day, Holocaust Remembrance Day and Tisha Be-av. Also contains special readings, meditations and 70 songs complete with transliterations.

This comprehensive guide to Jewish observance throughout the life cycle is the best introduction to Reform Jewish practice available.

Mishkan Moeid, newly revised and updated from the CCAR classic, Gates of the Seasons, this survey of the sacred days of the Jewish yearly cycle provides detailed guidance on observing Shabbat and the Jewish holidays, including historical background, essays, and extensive notes. Mishkan Moeid is perfect for Introduction to Judaism classes and conversion candidates, as well as personal study for those wishing to reconnect or deepen their relationship to Judaism.

This is now the only gender-inclusive prayerbook available from the CCAR containing services for Shabbat and weekdays, evening and morning, within the covers of a single, elegantly designed, hardbound volume. The selection of three complete services for Erev Shabbat should enable congregations to use this book regularly for most worship purposes. Gates of Prayer for Shabbat and Weekdays replaces the individual publications Gates of Prayer for Shabbat and Gates of Prayer for Weekdays. Publication of a new Siddur for the Reform Movement is still five years away, and this new volume will remain in print at least until the new Siddur is ready, making it eminently appropriate for your consideration now.
