A Time to Sanctify: Family Edition

A TIME TO SANCTIFY is a first of its kind songbook (zimron or bentcher) specifically designed for English speaking Karaites. In addition to blessings for Shabbat, havdala and weddings, this work features selections from twenty songs written by nineteen Karaite authors, most of whom lived in the region of the Pale of Settlement, encompassing Poland and Lithuania, between the sixteenth and the early nineteenth centuries.

Please note that due to an error, the Friday evening blessings for wine and bread (which would have appeared at the end of the Friday evening Kiddush on page 11) were omitted. These same words appear on the bottom of page 16, beginning with Uvaruch Elohenu.
