Rabbis Grushcow ( Writing the Wayward Wife ) and Skloot ( FirstImpressions ) pay tribute to liturgist and rabbi Larry Hoffman with thisgathering of brief and insightful pieces on the nuances of Jewish worship,belief, survival, and ritual practice . In the standout "Memory, Vulnerability,and Return," Rabbi Angela Buchdahl recalls how Hoffman, a professor emeritus ofliturgy at Hebrew Union College whose work focuses on improving the prayerexperiences of secular Jews, helped to reorder the Yom Kippur liturgy structureat the Central Synagogue in New York to better build up to the service'sspiritual apex. Underscoring Hoffman's insight, Buchdahl writes that the powerof prayer is "not only in the content, but in the ebb and flow, the quiets andthe crescendos." Elsewhere, Rabbi Gordon Tucker unpacks Hoffman's theory thattoday's "apparent absence of faith" stems from "an inadequacy of language" tocapture key religious tenets. The essential words creation, revelation, andredemption, for example, "no longer carry the same meanings for today's Jews,"according Tucker, who calls for "new stories of faith" that require "newexpression." Brisk yet meditative, these essays avoid slipping into hagiographyas they celebrate and expand upon Hoffman's adaptive and community-centeredapproach to prayer. Rabbis and others active in Jewish worship communities willbe inspired. (Jan.) --Publishers Weekly "From Rabbi Larry Hoffman, we learn how to pray with consequence . . . Our conversations within ourselves, with others, and with God lead us to know how to live." -Janet Walton, professor emerita of worship and the arts at Union Theological Seminary "Hoffman is a rabbi of rabbis. And a liturgist of liturgists . . . [He] invited us to courageous reinterpretation and transformation of our liturgy." -Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, Central synagogue, New York City "Few thinkers possess greater ability than Rabbi Larry Hoffman to make surprising connections that bring new light to oft-trodden territory." -Rabbi Arnold Eisen, chancellor emeritus of the Jewish Theological Seminary "I have long been indebted to Rabbi Larry Hoffman not only for the unparalleled genius he has always displayed in bringing together and synthesizing Jewish texts in intellectually provocative and spiritually moving ways. " --Rabbi David Ellenson, chancellor emeritus of Hebrew union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, "From Rabbi Larry Hoffman, we learn how to pray with consequence . . .
