"I'm honored to be included in A Poet's Siddur. It's a deeply moving collection of poetry. Shabbat is an ever evolving experience for modern Jews. This is an amazing contribution.
I especially love encountering poets whose work I've not been familiar with For example, I. B. Iskov whose "Candle Lighting" claims "I am self-taught in the art/of memorialized magic". Many stories of return here."

A Poet Siddur Friday Evening Liturgy Through the Eyes of Poets Rick Lupert Leonard Cohen Danny Maseng 9780982058480 Books Reviews
- I love this book. I often lead services where I want original liturgy. This book is the first one I go to for a Friday evening service. The liturgy is meaningful and memorable.
- some real gems here!
- A Poet's Siddur is a reimagining, a free retranslation, interpretation of the Jewish Friday evening prayers. As someone with little experience with the liturgy, this collection rings out the challenge and beauty of modern existence. Leonard Cohen's included poem is a special treat, but other highlights include Rachel Kann's "All of This Outrageous Beauty," Aurora Levins Morales's "V'ahavta," and Michael Getty's "Truly."
This is a superb collection from the gorgeous front cover to the last page. - Within her pages you shall find yourself reimagining Shabbat, indeed reimagining the world, through the experiences of 36 different poets. Reciting the blessing for feline encounters with Shabbat candles, you will find yourself moved to sing praises, to embrace the wrestling and the questioning, to envision the delightful dances of dolphins and drunken salmon, as you learn the direction of peace, know the presence of love that poetry can only begin to describe, cry out for a better world, and seek truth. Or perhaps, just read an excellent book of moving, thought-provoking poetry. Either way, it will be a sweet journey through A Poet’s Siddur.
- I'm honored to be included in A Poet's Siddur. It's a deeply moving collection of poetry. Shabbat is an ever evolving experience for modern Jews. This is an amazing contribution.
I especially love encountering poets whose work I've not been familiar with For example, I. B. Iskov whose "Candle Lighting" claims "I am self-taught in the art/of memorialized magic". Many stories of return here. - The poems included in this collection beautifully correspond to different parts of the Friday night service, making it the perfect choice for anyone looking for material to enhance religious worship. Give this book as a gift to your favorite rabbi, cantor, or lay leader. They will find it to be a treasure trove of spiritual reflection.
- This slim volume is a rich garden of Shabbat fruits and flowers.For those who struggle to find the juice in the standard liturgy, these poems will illumine, expand, and enrich your experience of entering into the sacred space of Seventh Day--a true taste of the Divine.
- This is a beautiful and inspiring book!
