The Rosh Hashanah prayer service. So many hours. So many prayers. Here's one way to make them more meaningful to us.

Imagine having a wise, experienced, compassionate friend sitting next to you as you pray on Rosh Hashanah, quietly sharing insights and inspirational stories to help you get the most out of the prayer experience.

You can. His name is Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski MD. And he's here with you, in Twerski on Machzor, to help you discover the depth and meaning of the Rosh Hashanah Machzor.

Through stories and explanations, we begin to learn so many things about Rosh Hashanah and its prayers:

• How can we relate to Hashem as our King? As our Father? As both at the same time?
• Why does the word tefillah mean so much than merely a prayer?
• Why do we eat symbolic foods on Rosh Hashanah; aren't our prayers enough?
• What is the highest honor a person can attain? And why do we try to attain it on Rosh Hashanah?

World-renowned psychiatrist, bestselling author, and beloved rav, Rabbi Dr. Twerski has been guiding us for decades. And now, with Twerski on Machzor, we can take him to synagogue with us on Rosh Hashanah, to ensure a meaningful prayer experience - and a very happy new year.

Rabbi Spero has good taste, enthusiasm, passion, and talent - the perfect blend for a master storyteller, which he is.

See for yourself with this magnificent new collection.

If you read volume 1, you'll run, not walk to get your copy of volume 2.

Sometimes we lift our eyes to Heaven in deep, sincere prayer. Sometimes we recite each word of our tefillah with awe, reverence, and sincerity. But, sadly, sometimes we don't.

Touched by a Prayer 2 will surely help upgrade the quality and the beauty of the tefillos of those of us who struggle to invest our daily prayers with more meaning.

 Rabbi Yechiel Spero has already touched our hearts and minds with his inimitable Touched by a Story series. His bestselling book, Touched by a Prayer, brought a new dimension to his work, and to our lives, by combining insightful and fascinating essays on the daily prayers with stories that illustrate the major themes of the prayer.

Rabbi Spero touched our souls in ways only a master educator, storyteller, and writer could.

In Touched by a Prayer 2 Rabbi Spero continues elevating our prayers to a new, higher level while at the same time deepening our understanding of them.

Beginning with the blessing of Yotzer Ohrand continuing to the end of Shacharis, the Morning Service, the essays and stories of this book show us the meaning and significance of the words we recite each day.

We will understand how Shemacan be the Jewish people's "mission statement," and develop a new perspective on each of the blessings of Shemoneh Esrei, the centerpiece of our prayers. And, of course, at the same time we will read inspiring stories that take us from a Chassidic Rebbe's courtyard to a Cleveland bakery, from a Moscow cafe to an oncology ward in a Seattle hospital.

This is a book filled with heartwarming stories that will touch our hearts, our minds -- and most assuredly, our prayers.

Touched by a Prayer 2 is a must-have for teachers looking to ignite a fire in their students - or for anyone searching to find Hashem as their constant companion. And isn't that all of us?

Jewish life is replete with happy occasions, all replete with laws, customs and common practices.

Frequently, however, a person celebrating one of these occasions may forget or simply be unaware of some of the practices and observance.

The author has compiled a brief, practical convenient guide to the such important and meaningful celebrations as: births, baby naming, bris milah, pidyon haben, bar and bas mitzvah, weddings, sheva berachos, siyum, hachnasas Sefer Torah, and more.

It also includes a selection of prayers and supplications for many of these events.

The Simchah Handbook provides a quick and easy reference that is sure to help everyone practice appropriate decorum and uncompromising halachic observance - all with maximum simchah. L'chaim!

Fishbane also translates and interprets a wide range of Hasidic sources previously unavailable in English that reflect the spiritual transformation that takes place on the seventh day—one that can shift your awareness into the realm that is all soul.

Our Prayers... They are not just hopes and wishes cast up to heaven. They are one of the key mechanisms by which Hashem’s creation functions.

And like any mechanism, our prayers operate according to a set of inviolable principles — the actual “physics” of the spiritual world.

Prayer Works is a fascinating exploration of the inner “works” of the mechanism of prayer, and of how the Shemoneh Esrei, the heart of Jewish prayer, “works” flawlessly to bring our world to perfection.

The reader will emerge from this journey with a deep understanding of the vast spiritual forces invested in the words of Shemoneh Esrei, and a reinvigorated desire to open his or her life to the transformative power of heart-felt prayer.

The morning blessings represent our first statements of intent as we face the new day.

Yet like any tefila (prayer) recited on a daily basis, they risk becoming mundane if they are not occasionally re-envisioned through a fresh lens.

Ohr HaShachar challenges us to look deeper into the words of the morning blessings -- from Modeh Ani through the fifteen blessings of Birchot HaShachar -- to discover new meaning and relevance, and to re-examine a host of fundamental concepts in Torah and Kabbalah along the way.

The theme of renewed life and consciousness expressed in the morning blessings is both timeless and universal.

Yet inside the words of Modeh Ani, Netilat Yadayim, Asher Yatzar, Elokai Neshama, Birchot HaTorah, and the 15 blessings of Birchot HaShachar are concepts whose full richness and subtlety are not captured by conventional English translations and require elucidation in order to be adequately understood.

Ohr HaShachar takes us on a journey through the morning blessings in search of greater clarity and depth, opening up the worlds that lie within the words.

What do we mean by the word modeh?

What does the term baruch really imply?

What is the elusive kedusha to which the phrase asher kideshanu refers?

Along the way, ideas such as tzadik v’ra lo and the story of Iyov, the Creation and Garden of Eden narratives, and many more central themes within Torah and Kabbalah are examined.

The result is that the words recited each morning are infused with new meaning and contemporary relevance.

Ohr HaShachar offers fresh insights along with traditional commentary, analysis of larger concepts as well as linguistic nuances within the text, plus dozens of visual diagrams and hundreds of notes.

After telling how the first thing they say each morning is Modeh Ani, which means "Thank You, Hashem," two young children list some of the many things for which they feel thankful.

Including a nice house to live in, toys, books, the beauty of nature, their parents and grandparents, and being part of the Jewish people.

This colorful, illustrated siddur makes tefillot fun and accessible for children aged 3-6.

Created with the Israeli educational organization MiBereshit, the siddur includes 28 short tefillot, from Modeh Ani through Shema, Adon Alom, Kiddush, Birkat Hamazon and more.

Your children will love joining well-known, Israeli cartoon characters Effy and Noa on their happy adventures through the siddur.

The siddur is in Hebrew and is suitable for all Edot.

A Prayer book for our times, it speaks to today's Jew, relating the thoughts and words of our heritage to the mind and heart of modern, sophisticated Jews.
