What is most important during tefilah, in addition to but also integeral to reading and uttering the words, is an understanding of what you are saying and the thoughts behind the anshei kneses hagedolah meaning in their selection and ordering of the texts.Priceless.
J. F. de Wolff –
Being familiar with Rav Schwab’s other writings this work, despite being published several years after his passing, closely reflects his style. Much of what he says (they were originally taped lectures) is either based on the plain meaning but phrased in an acutely relevant way, or alternatively highly original (e.g. his system on the structure of the prayers reflecting that of the daily service in the Temple in Jerusalem). Some background knowledge required.A particular strength is his attention to the custom of his own community. While many other communities gradually adopt a generally uniform style, Rav Schwab’s community stuck true to its German customs. He explains particular variances from the “standard ArtScroll” prayer book numerous times.

Rabbi Schwab, a renowned Rabbi who survived the Holocaust and emigrated to New York, has posthumously published, with the help of Artscroll, a meticulous explanation of the most frequently recited Jewish prayers. The detail and liberal use of Hebrew can be intimidating, particularly if you’re a “new Jew” like me–a baal t’shuvah. For those of you seeking a more elementary text, I highly recommend Steinsalt’s book on prayer, Reuven Hammer’s “Entering Jewish Prayer,” and Donin’s “To Pray As a Jew.” But this book belongs on your shelf. It can be skimmed, read closely, or consulted for in-depth analyses. It will be there waiting for you (and, baruch Hashem) for me when the day comes that I’ll be able fully to appreciate and apprehend it. I may not understand the book in its entirety, but I know a masterpiece when I see one.
