Az Nashir; Between Silence & Song

In the ongoing shadow of war, amidst the heartbreak and heroism of our time, emerges Az Nashir: Between Silence & Song -- Women's Prayers for Our Days of Remembrance & Celebration.

This volume focuses on Israel's national days of mourning and joy; Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), Yom HaZikaron (Memorial Day), Yom HaAtzmaut (Independence Day), Lag BaOmer (Jewish Day of Mysticism and Celebration), and Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day, celebrating the city's reunification since 1967).

These prayers follow the profound tradition of "techines," where Jewish women weave their personal prayers into the fabric of daily life, capturing their contemporary struggles and conversations with the Divine.

Born from the turbulence following October 7th, this book not only continues the narrative of its predecessor Az Nashir: We Will Sing Again, but deepens it, exploring the intricate dance of mourning and celebration in Jewish life. As Israel faces unprecedented challenges, these prayers serve as beacons of strength and solace, embracing both the joy and sorrow of our days.

Between Silence & Song is more than a book; it's a companion for those moments when the heart yearns for expression. Through these prayers, we connect past, present, and future, weaving together the threads of memory, valor, and hope into a tapestry that guides us toward a more harmonious and resilient future.
