Understanding the 'Amida of Rosh Hashanah

Torah-Box Publishing is pleased to offer you the book "Understanding the Rosh Hashanah Amidah".

While all prayers addressed to our Creator are important, if not essential, the Rosh Hashanah prayer holds a very special solemnity. Its culmination, the recitation of the Musaf, revolves around three themes, the source of all blessings for the coming year: Malchuyot (divine kingship), Zikhronot (remembrance), and Shofarot (the shofar). On this Day of Judgment, the quality of our prayer is the key to the merit of being inscribed in the Book of Life and deserving favorable decrees.

In these majestic yet critical circumstances, how can we pray with the required fervor and concentration? How can we truly understand the meaning of our prayers? "Understanding the Rosh Hashanah Amidah," with its rich analysis of the Rosh Hashanah prayer texts, by Rabbi Uri Levy, is a fundamental work to be used invaluably to finally grasp the profound meaning of our supplications on this most daunting day.
