Drawing from classical Jewish sources, the book presents key daily and Sabbath prayers—along with blessings for everyday activities like eating and traveling—in Hebrew, transliteration, and a new English translation. It also delves into Bikur Cholim, the ethical practice of visiting the sick, and includes powerful Chassidic stories about the impact of prayer. For only $36 you can discover the history, significance, and transformative power of prayer. Limited copies are available so plan on getting your copy today!
