No other product of the Jewish heritage reaches as deeply in the heart and mind of the Jewish people and no other religious work reflects as full the spiritual history of the Jewish people as the Siddur. No wonders the worship of the synagogue has intrigued both laymen and scholars. This book should be of interest to both Jew and Gentile. For a concise yet authentic summary of pharisaic Judaism nothing equals the Siddur, the core of which composed by the rabbis of the Talmud. It is also hoped that this book will prove useful as a text for advanced students in the synagogue and for college students.

Jewish Worship
This book fits so squarely within my intellectual interests it's silly. Like I've mentioned before, I think I'm a bit more demanding on academic books. I'm really looking for a solid, cohesive argument, and "Torns at the Roots" didn't 100% get there.
BUT: It was engagingly written for an academic book (the worst I could say is that the word "ambivalent" appeared here about 40 too many times) and Staub covers all sorts of different, interesting topics in a logical way. You can clearly see how arguments over civil rights moved into ones over Vietnam moved into ones over women's lib, etc etc. It's an intellectual history, so this is basically a summary of back-and-forth arguments. He said/she said stuff. But, to me at least, it was fascinating, and I really appreciated all the nuance re: what Jewishness means. That nuance is definitely something I'm hungry for in my personal life, so I really enjoyed the read overall.
