The contributors and editors dedicate this volume of research to Professor Stefan C. Reif on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Together these twenty papers reflect our appreciation for his exemplary scholarship and lifelong commitment to acquaint our world with the theological and cultural riches of Jewish Studies. This collection reflects the breadth of Prof. Reif’s interests insofar as it is a combination of Second Temple studies and Jewish studies on the roots of Jewish prayer and liturgy which is his main field of expertise. Contributions on biblical and second temple studies cover Amos, Ben Sira, Esther, 2 Maccabees, Judith, Wisdom, Qumran Psalms, and James. Contributions on Jewish studies cover nuptial and benedictions after meals, Adon Olam, Passover Seder, Amidah, the Medieval Palestinian Tefillat ha-Shir, and other aspects of rabbinic liturgy. Moreover, the regional diversity of scholars from Israel, continental Europe, the United Kingdom, Ireland and North America mirrors Stefan’s travels as a lecturer and the reach of his publications. The volume includes a foreword of appreciation and a bibliographic list of Professor Reif's works.

The healing modality ThetaHealing has become known all over the world for its incredible power to help and heal people from all walks of life. While ThetaHealing has touched the lives of many, few people know the beautiful love story that led to its creation. Now, for the first time, this tale of devotion and commitment can be read by all, in Vianna and Guy Stibal's beautiful book, On the Wings of Prayer. This is the true-life story of a sacred union of souls. The formation of a healing modality has its own considerable challenges, many of which are beyond the spectrum of common experience. On the Wings of Prayer is a journey through the joys and heartaches that Vianna and Guy encountered, that led them to create modes of healing for their personal growth on many levels of existence. It is a story dedicated to all those romantics out there that still have the courage to believe that love can last the ages.
