On the eve of Yom Kippur, Aliza Lavie read an interview
with an Israeli woman who had lost both her mother and her
baby daughter in a terrorist attack. As Lavie stood in the
synagogue later, she searched for comfort for the bereaved
woman, for a reminder that she is a part of a great tradition
of Jewish women. A Jewish Woman's Prayer Book, - winner
of the 2008 NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD, is the result.
