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.
