Review
"Dinah Berlan has given us a treasure. Her English rendering of Fanny Neuda's book of prayers for Jewish women is elegant as well as capable of opening hearts. It stirred mine."--Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, coauthor of Jewish with Feeling"Berland has been preparing all her life to re-create Fanny Neuda's deeply useful and soulful Hours of Devotion. She has given us a woman's book of illuminations, a compilation of prayers that moves from suffering to gratitude, a work that sanctifies life."--Edward Hirsch, author of Lay Back the Darkness"This rich, spiritually vital collection shines with integrity and wisdom. Contemporary Jewish life as a whole is immeasurably enriched by Berland's graceful restoration of Neuda's prayers--prayers that had long articulated the deep yearnings of Jewish women. A book every Jewish home should have, to be cherished and transmitted from generation to generation."--Rabbi Miriyam Glazer, editor of Dancing on the Edge of the World"Hours of Devotion is, among other splendid things, a book about fate: the fate of these prayers treasured by generations of Jewish women; the intersecting fates of Fanny Neuda and Dinah Berland, who has made the prayers available again; and how fate itself is shaped by prayer, which carries the wisdom of individuals and communities backwards and forwards through time. This is a remarkable book, one that will move the reader both to reflection and to prayer."--Brigit Pegeen Kelly, author of The Orchard

Hours of Devotion: Fanny Neuday's Book of Prayers for Jewish Women, edited by Dinah Berland, was recommended to me by a good friend. When it arrived from Amazon, I discovered it to be a remarkable collaboration of two gifted and spiritual women living more than a century and a half and an ocean apart. In Dinah Berland's heartfelt "Editor's Preface," she tells the story of her happening on a 1937 copy of Fanny Neuda's prayer book (without the author's name) in a used book store near her home. The powerful impact these prayers had on Dinah Berland's personal life led her to rediscover the power of prayer, restore a broken relationship with her beloved son and revive her faith. It also started her on a journey to find the author and the story behind the prayers and eventually to edit and publish this 2007 edition.Berland's skills and talents as a both a published poet and a professional editor were put to good use in creating this edition of Fanny's prayers for a new generation of women. Careful attention was given by Berland to ensure accurate translations of the prayers from the original German to English and prayers omitted in previous editions were reintroduced. The language was given a 21st century makeover to reflect common usage and gender inclusion, and a major enhancement was made to this edition by Berland setting the formerly prose constructed prayers into verse. They are so beautiful in verse!The prayers drew me in with their loving images in the prayers of God ( e.g. All Compassionate One, Creator and Sustainer, Parent of All) and the language of appreciation for the beauty of the natural world they contain. Neuda saw the loving hand of God in every moment and every possible circumstance of a woman's life, and these prayers encompasses every aspect of daily life, holidays and special situations unique to a women's lives. The calming and reassuring language of the prayers give a sense of hope and peace that is hard to find in our troubled and turbulent times. I purchased a second copy to give to a friend and plan to purchase yet one more for another friend who I know will also feel as I do about these very special prayers.Thank you, Dinah Berland, for the sensitivity, skill and passion you have invested to make these beautiful poems available to a new generation of women!
This is a beautifully written book. With tons of personal insight as well as prayers for almost every occation. At first I was skeptical about a book with so many Very Good Reviews, but after reading just a few of these delightful prayers I am in complete agreement with the reviews I read. With historical content and the prayers themselves I have not been able to put the book down.The Author did a beautiful job in compiling information.This is a book that can be read by all faiths and by men as well as women. Although it speaks primarily to the heart of the Jewish woman it can be read by all.This review was written by Andrew's Wife.
As a 55-year old Jewish woman with no formal instruction but a long personal reading list, I have been devouring Hours of Devotion since I purchased it. This volume speaks to my heart in so many ways, and the Introduction had me in tears.This is, indeed, a work of beauty and depth. Over centuries, these women have worked to share it with the world. Don't miss it. Hours of Devotion will become part of your soul.Arlene RossMiami, FL
It seems true that "there are no accidents". Dinah Berland discovered an old copy of this book in a low moment of her life, and rescued it from oblivion, just as it rescued her from crisis. The prayers, while written in the 19th century, are simple, eloquent and heartfelt, and ring true. Ms. Berland has provided a fascinating context for the prayers, with biographical information about Fanny Neuda and autobiographical reflections about her own spiritual journey. Best of all, she has revived a treasure that was once beloved by generations of women, and was almost lost to us.
What a treasure! It covers every topic imaginable and I was blessed to have it in time to read at a loved one's bed of transition. Unbelievable that these verses were written so long ago but so apply to today and she writes beautifully for women. Thank you to my awesome cousin who told me about it! I have been recommending it like crazy.
This prayer book is one that really touches the heart, and helps give words to us when we need them the most. I like the set up of this book as it has seperate prayers for different days, life events, morning, and evening. So often when we pray, when we really need to we may be at a loss for words, this book helps to provide the words that are needed. I highly recommend this book if you are going through a difficult time, or even if you desire a book to assist you in your prayers.
I am a 57 year-old Secular Jew. If it ever comes to pass that I perform a mitzvah you should consider it a coincidence. I don't even believe in God in any conventional sense. But in Dinah Berland's masterful hands the prayers of Fanny Neuda make life itself, its passages, sufferings, joys, and hopes, God for me.If the siddurim used in synagogues were as intimate and as full of grace as HOURS OF DEVOTION, I'd buy a seat in shul with every penny I had.
Very sweet book. Wish I hadn't left it in storage with the rest of my books 2,000 miles away. *alas* Nice gift book.
