To You I Call: Psalms Through­out Our Lives

  • From the Publisher

Psalms have been part of Jew­ish rit­u­al and litur­gy for cen­turies, express­ing praise to God, feel­ings of sor­row and long­ing, and much more. Rab­bi Jade Sank Ross’s To You I Call is an invi­ta­tion to make the ancient words of psalms part of our dai­ly lives. The book pairs sev­en­ty-two psalms with a range of life moments, from giv­ing birth to retire­ment to expe­ri­enc­ing anti­semitism — times of grief and grat­i­tude, antic­i­pa­tion and despair, pain and relief. Rab­bi Sank Ross’s orig­i­nal, authen­tic fram­ing and Rab­bi Richard N. Levy’s beau­ti­ful, con­tem­po­rary trans­la­tions let read­ers forge a deep and per­son­al con­nec­tion with the words of the Psalmist. With sen­si­tiv­i­ty and vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty, To You I Call brings the psalms to life for our lives, today.
