The Gates of Heaven

When do we stand? Why do we stand? Why do we pray at all? Aren't we just saying the same things over and over again? For many, the Jewish prayer book is bewildering.

In this groundbreaking book, Professor David Schaps explains clearly what we are doing when we pray, how, and why. This easy to comprehend work can also give new meaning to the tefillos for those who have been praying for years. When you understand its structure, the siddur can elevate your soul and bring your thoughts and your words before the Divine Throne.
