Description: "Ruth F. Brin is one of the liturgical pioneers of the post-World War II era. In the 1950s, when most Jewish women still seemed content with their traditional subordinate role in public worship, Ruth Brin was already at work modernizing traditional Jewish prayers and texts, and offering new interpretive readings and original poetry reflecting her own religious experience. Today it is difficult to find a Reform, Conservative, or Reconstructionist prayer book or anthology that does not include her writings.

She is the only woman and one of the few American-born writers of whom this can be said. Harvest: Collected Poems and Prayers brings together her writings from nearly 30 years and represents Brin's wide-ranging search for the power and meaning of prayer."--BOOK JACKET.
