People who attend no other services go out of their way to be present on Yom Kippur eve just to hear Kol Nidre chanted. Yet the prayer is in medieval Aramaic, which no one understands, and may not even have a translation supplied, since the prayer's content defies moral logic. Kol Nidre is a blanket request that God hold us guiltless for vows we make and do not honor! Judaism demands, however, just the reverse. We must honor promises we make. How then did this prayer come into being? Why was it retained? How did it attract the most haunting chant in all of Jewish tradition?
All These Vows--Kol Nidre examines the prayer's theology, authorship and history through a set of lively essays, all written in accessible language by over thirty contributors who span three continents and all major Jewish denominations. They are men and women, scholars and rabbis, artists and poets. Introductory essays trace the actual history of the prayer and attempts through the ages to emend it, downplay it and even do away with it--all in vain. Kol Nidre remains despite them all, an annual liturgical highlight that is regularly attended even by Jews who disbelieve everything the prayer says.Prayers of Awe Series
An exciting new series that examines the High Holy Day liturgy to enrich the praying experience of everyone--whether experienced worshipers or guests who en

Named a 2007 National Jewish Book Award Runner-Up in the category of Contemporary Jewish Life and Practice.
JPS’s holiday books take us through the joys, spirit, and meaning of the seasons. Blending the old and the new, they ground us in the origins and traditions of each holiday and open up to us ways we can add our own expression to these special days. Although synagogue ritual is touched upon, the real focus here is on our personal connections to each holiday and our home observance. As we move from season to season, Paul Steinberg shares with us a rich collection of readings from many of the Jewish greats—Maimonides, Rashi, Nachmanides, Shlomo Carlebach, Marge Piercy, Elie Wiesel, Martin Buber, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Arthur Green, and others—and he guides us in discovering for ourselves the many treasures within each text. The readings teach us about the history of each holiday, as well as its theological, ethical, agricultural, and seasonal importance and interpretation; others give us inspiration and much food for thought. These stories, essays, poems, anecdotes, and rituals help us discover how deeply Jewish traditions are rooted in nature’s yearly cycle, and how beautifully season and spirit are woven together throughout the Jewish year.

Rabbi Soloveitchik, one of the greatest Halakhic minds of the twentieth century, has left a remarkable legacy of public lectures. Among the most popular of venues for these lectures was the Kinus Teshuvah, where the Rav would weave halakhah and homiletics so compellingly that the line between them blurred and often disappeared entirely. Presented in Yiddish, these discourses (teshuvah derashot) combined halakhic depth with emotional power, leaving an enduring imprint on all who attended.From 1962 through 1980, Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik zt"l annually presented a two- to- three hour lecture in Yiddish at the Kinus Teshuvah (Repentance Convocation) sponsored by the Rabbinical Council of America. These lectures (derashot) were delivered between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur on the topic of repentance and the Days of Awe.Many of the earlier derashot presented through 1972 were summarized by Rabbi Pinchas Peli inhis classic work Al Hateshuvah, later translated into English as On Repentance. This long-awaited volume is a summary of the derashot delivered from 1973 through 1980.
Dr. Arnold Lustiger has organized the teshuvah derashot topically, from the pre-Rosh Hashanah Selihot prayers through the Yom Kippur Avodah and concluding Neilah services. He has included Biblical, Talmudic and Midrashic sources. He provides cross-references, with citations from Pelis On Repentance as we

No demon has ever achieved as fantastic a career as Lilith. She began with the lowliest of origins. God created her from the dust of the earth alongside her intended mate, Adam. However, Lilith was a failed wife. She was not animated by the breath of God like Adam. Instead, she was preemptively animated by a Satanic mist which erupted from the ground. Lilith therefore bore the image of Lucifer, whereas Adam bore the image of God. Lilith rebelled against Adam and became the infamous Serpent who deceived Eve and caused Adam to fall. Because of her deed, God established eternal enmity between the Serpent Lilith and Eve, and between their seeds. Thus began the Bible’s most epic tale. According to God’s curse, Lilith’s firstborn seed would bruise the heel of Eve’s promised seed, Messiah, but Eve’s seed would revive to crush the head of the Serpent and slay her seed.
About the author:
What Mark Biggs has accomplished with The Case for Lilith is sorely needed. His book finally explains the nearly inexplicable. He has taken the fantastic tale of Lilith and explained how each element of her legend came to be taught by the ancient rabbis based on their understanding of Biblical passages. Finally, with The Case for Lilith, in one book is collected a coherent set of Biblical evidences that support all the critical facets of Lilith’s legend. But Biggs does not stop there. He embarks on a daring pursuit to establish links between Lilith and Biblical elements that go essentially undiscussed outside the Zohar. He boldly argues the intriguing case that the infamous seed of the Serpent Lilith is Azazel, a demon in Leviticus to whom is sent the scapegoat of Yom Kippur. He also explores Azazel’s roots as the first Nephilim. According to Genesis the Nephilim were powerful giants created by fallen angels mating with the daughters of Adam. Biggs adeptly argues that Azazel was the unique product of these angels mating with Lilith.

The sheer number of Jewish laws infuses everyday life with endless opportunities to touch the divine within. With this modern translation, the English-reading public can study Jewish law as taught by Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the Alter Rebbe, from the original source. In this new edition, the translation page faces the newly reset Hebrew text. Notations appear when the Alter Rebbe`s rulings are at variance with Rabbi Yosef Karo`s Shulchan Aruch and when other halachic works cite the subject at hand. This volume covers Orach Chaim chapters 582-624. This handsome, hardbound volume is a desk-friendly format with a satin ribbon marker.
