About this book
From the creator of the Velveteen Rabbi’s Haggadah, a new siddur for the day of Shabbat.
Published jointly by Bayit and Ben Yehuda Press, Renew Our Hearts balances tradition with innovation, featuring liturgy for morning (shacharit and a renewing approach to musaf, the “additional” service of Shabbat and festivals), afternoon (mincha), and evening (ma’ariv and havdalah), along with curated works of poetry, art and new liturgies from across the breadth of Jewish spiritual life.
In the trans-denominational spirit of Jewish renewal, Renew Our Hearts is for individuals and communities across the Jewish spiritual spectrum. In service of maximum accessibility, every word of Hebrew is paired with transliteration and with clear, pray-able English translation.
Renew Our Hearts is designed for use in homes, in congregations and independent minyanim, on Shabbat hikes, in contemplative Shabbat settings: wherever you experience the rhythms of Shabbat day, from morning until night.
