Maybe some people enjoy their experience reading a traditional Jewish prayer book. As a twenty-two year old female, I haven’t been drawn to many in the current literary landscape. I felt compelled to create my own version, one that is eye-catching, approachable, and most importantly, geared toward young Jewish women. 

In the research phase of this project, I found a study linking prayer to improved emotional well-being. This came as no surprise. I know the value of prayer, having seen it give my father strength amid a serious illness. 

You don't have to be religious to engage in prayer. My book is about mindfulness more than anything else. It draws on my life experiences but remains relatable to readers.
