{"product_id":"tekiah-richard-chess-9781879852785","title":"Tekiah","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese poems search for compatibility between contemporary consciousness and a rich, ancient liturgical tradition. Specifically, they explore the deep feelings of joy and regret, shame and hope associated with the Days of Awe, the Jewish High Holidays, beginning with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and concluding with Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. \u003cem\u003eTekiah\u003c\/em\u003e refers to the sound of the \u003cem\u003eshofar\u003c\/em\u003e, the ceremonial ram's horn that is blown to commemorate the beginning of creation. The sound also recalls the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, the destruction of the Temple, and the binding of Isaac, and anticipates as well the reunification of the Jews of the Diaspora. Finally, and perhaps most important, it serves as an entreaty to the Jewish people to perform \u003cem\u003eteshuvah\u003c\/em\u003e, to return to God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Chess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1879852780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781879852785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Tampa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.21d","brand":"Richard Chess","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486213812479,"sku":"9781879852785","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_245e4e62-bf9e-499c-9480-bbd1e627d7c0.jpg?v=1778054391","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tekiah-richard-chess-9781879852785","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
