Fifteen years in the making, The Encyclopedia of Jewish Prayer is a monumental achievement.

Macy Nulman has provided, in one unique, accessible volume, information on each and every prayer recited in the Ashkenazic and Sephardic traditions, creating an invaluable tool for study or quick reference.
