This book challenges this assumption and, through a phenomenological analysis of the meaning of prayer in modern Hebrew literature, shows that prayer does not depend at all on the addressee-humans are praying beings. Prayer is, above all, the recognition that we are free to transcend the facts of our life and an expression of the hope that we can override the weight of our past and present circumstances. 606 $aHebrew poetry, Modern$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHebrew literature, Modern$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aHebrew poetry, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHebrew literature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a892.41091 700 $aSagi$b Abraham$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01097613 701 $aStein$b Batya$0852864 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910861068703321 996 $aPrayer After the Death of God$94167151 997 $aUNINA
