“Were Our Mouths Filled With Song” Studies in Liberal Jewish Liturgy [Monographs of the Hebrew Union College, Number 20]

Friedland, Eric L. “Were Our Mouths Filled With Song” Studies in Liberal Jewish Liturgy [Monographs of the Hebrew Union College, Number 20]. Cincinnati: Hebrew Union College Press, 1997. First edition. In an introductory essay, the author provides an overview of Jewish worship since the period of its standardization, illustrating that there was hardly a time when the liturgy was not somehow in a state of flux. The seventeen chapters that follow explore a goodly number of the countless ways that the Siddur, Mahzor, and Haggadah have been adjusted, amplified, or transformed so as to faithfully mirror modern Jews’ understanding of themselves, their place in society, and their sancta. Dust-jacket, binding and interior in very good condition. vg. Hardcover. (33425) $50
