About this book

Since October 7th, Israeli women of faith have reached out to God from the depths of their experiences. In both English and Hebrew side-by-side, Az Nashir - We Will Sing Again: Women's Prayers for Our Time of Need is an anthology of the artistic expression of Torah scholars, teachers, spiritual leaders, activists, poets, writers, and masters of creativity, who found the language and visual medium to express their heartfelt responses to life in Israel at this tenuous and challenging time. This collection of prayers: tefillot, techinot, and piyutim joins a long tradition of Jewish women dialoguing with the Divine about their immediate experiences, in their mother tongues, as they seek hope and redemption for themselves and the people of Israel.Including prayers: On the challenges of Shabbat during wartimeOn the experiences of families of soldiers during the warOn losing a child or spouse in battleFor the hostages to return homeOn rebuilding and protecting the borders of IsraelOn finding the words to pray when God seems distant or hiddenFor personal needs, women's mitzvot, and motherhood in a time of national crisisFor peace, redemption, and an end to terror and war
