{"product_id":"pleading-at-the-gates-of-heaven","title":"PLEADING at the GATES of HEAVEN","description":"Eight-hundred years have passed and still this poem retains its uncanny ability to move readers in profound ways. R. Abraham Hazzan of Girona (northern Spain) – scholar and kabbalist - whose piyyutim (religious poems) so deeply impacted Ramban (R. Moshe ben Nahman) that he envisioned them to being recited before the Holy One by angels on high, left posterity only a single work: Ahot Ketana.\nWhat explains this piyyut’s ability to bring supplicants to places so deep and so emotionally charged? What is the source of Ahot Ketana’s power?\n‘Pleading at the Gates of Heaven’ unpacks the piyyut and discovers the brilliance of R. Abraham’s magnum opus and its roots in Torah, Nakh and even Talmudic and Halakhic works.\nIf you want to understand and experience the depth and power of Rabbinic poetry and piyyut read this book!\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1602805326\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1602805326.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Richard Rudy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
