Out of the Depths I Call to You by Nina Beth Rabbi Cardin
'In 1786, Giuseppe Coen presented his bride with an exquisite gift: a book of psalms, blessings, and prayers. The volume focused on the concerns of the married woman, in particular her responsibility to create a Jewish home and bear children. In Out of the Depths I Call to You: A Book of Prayers for the Married Jewish Woman , Rabbi Nina Beth Cardin translates these prayers and provides insightful commentary, bringing to light the essence of Jewish women's liturgical and ritual experiences that have long been overlooked by scholars.' - Women's League Outlook
If there is a clear role for Out of the Depths I Call to You , it is as a heartfelt gift for a newly pregnant friendThis elegant, slim volume is an English translation (plus full Hebrew text) of an 18th-century Italian woman's prayer book. Cardinstumbled upon the original (a gold-embossed antiquity dedicated to a woman named Yehudit Kutscher Coen) while wandering around inhaling leather in the Rare Book Room fo the library of the Jewish Theological Seminary... There are even instructions for the childbirth coach: When a woman attends at the birth of a friend's child she must show great devotion. She cannot allow trivial conversation or an obscene or malicious word...She must encourage the woman in labor to make a vow to perform some mitzvah, for example, spinning wool for tzitzit (prayershawl fringe), making wicks for usei n the synagogue, washing tallitot (prayershawls), or being punctilious in observing Rosh Hodesh (the new moon).. -- Lillith
