Az Nashir - We Will Sing Again: Women's Prayers for Our Time of Need, (Paperback)

Since October 7th, Israeli women of faith have reached out to God from the depths of their experiences. In both English and Hebrew side-by-side, Az Nashir - We Will Sing Again: Women's Prayers for Our Time of Need is an anthology of the artistic expression of Torah scholars, teachers, spiritual leaders, activists, poets, writers, and masters of creativity, who found the language and visual medium to express their heartfelt responses to life in Israel at this tenuous and challenging time. This collection of prayers: tefillot, techinot, and piyutim joins a long tradition of Jewish women dialoguing with the Divine about their immediate experiences, in their mother tongues, as they seek hope and redemption for themselves and the people of Israel.

Including prayers:

On the challenges of Shabbat during wartime

On the experiences of families of soldiers during the war

On losing a child or spouse in battle

For the hostages to return home

On rebuilding and protecting the borders of Israel

On finding the words to pray when God seems distant or hidden

For personal needs, women's mitzvot, and motherhood in a time of national crisis

For peace, redemption, and an end to terror and war
