This Rosh Hashanah will no doubt be different for many people who won’t be davening with their typical shul schedules. But Inspired, a new book published by Jewish Enrichment Press, is a way for everyone to stay connected and be uplifted this holiday season.
Short and powerful pieces of wisdom give meaning to the different tefillos of the Rosh Hashanah machzor. Insights are paired with unique, full-color Jewish paintings by community artists. “Inspired is the ideal shul companion,” says Rabbi Chaim Dalfin, author.
The book is a new edition of Rabbi Dalfin’s 1999 publication, then called Rosh Hashanah Davening. The idea behind this new edition was ignited last year on Rosh Hashanah, when Brocha Feiner (nee Dalfin) pulled it off the shelf to add meaning to the day.
“I’m a mom of three with little time for learning,” Brocha explains. “And every year I’ve relied on my father’s book to make Rosh Hashanah feel meaningful.” When the yom tov ended, Brocha knew she wanted to bring that kind of inspiration to others in an updated and current way. It took a conversation with editor and designer Chava Witkes, and Inspired was born.
“Learning has always been important to me,” says Chava Witkes, also a mom of three. “But these days I don’t have the time or headspace for anything too long or too deep.” Inspired is the perfect balance of content and delivery.
Small enough to bring along wherever you’ll be this year, a few copies of Inspired can also be thrown into a suitcase for the perfect Rosh Hashanah gift. So that not only you, but everyone around you can feel the inspiration too.
The book features art from a talented lineup of both up-and-coming and established artists: Shoshannah Brombacher, Chana Laber, Rivka Seigel-Krinsky, Maayan Ora Russel, Mali Labkowsky, and Rivky Garelik. Their classic pieces add an extra layer of depth to the content.
