Nehalel BeShabbat-Hardcover
Shabbat Siddur
Devised and with a new English translation by Michael Haruni. Introductory pieces by Rabbi Daniel Landes & Rabbi Dr. Zvi Grumet.
Nehalel is about to appear: a complete, strictly traditional siddur in which photographs depicting central meanings of the texts direct your attention to what prayers are about.
Nehalel is modeled on the Nevarech bencher, which in 1999 pioneered the idea of juxtaposing prayers with photographs portraying their meanings. Messages still continually come in from people discovering Nevarech, telling us that Birkat Hamazon (Grace After Meals) — a prayer they may have recited every day since childhood — is suddenly brought to life by the photographs alongside its text. Nehalel now brings this coming-to-life effect to the full orthodox liturgy.
With this use of photographs, Nehalel makes us powerfully aware of the themes that intersect in the Siddur. The liturgy celebrates the Creator of our spectacular environment — the cosmic, earthly and Eretz-Yisraeli, the universal human environment as well as the national. It speaks our thanks for the gift of our lives within these; and through it we plead for personal, national and human welfare. Repeatedly, the Siddur recounts the catastrophes in our history, of destruction and exile, and then turns to our redemptions — the pattern intensely realized during the last century; and on almost every page we point to Jerusalem as the central symbol of the complete redemption we yearn for.
The images in Nehalel reflect these different themes. The photos are partly contemporary and partly historical; partly of the natural order, partly of human reality; partly from Eretz Yisrael, partly from a much wider panorama. Many are drawn from various archives — some documenting the dark times in Europe, others showing the triumphs of modern Zionism.
