A Time to Sanctify: Songs and Blessings for the Sabbath, Havdala and Weddings (Study Volume)

A TIME TO SANCTIFY features 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.  

This Study Volume contains full translations of these songs, replete with analysis and commentary in order to elucidate the poetic, philosophical and theological references within them. This edition also provides a brief biography of the authors of these songs, placing them in their historical context.
