	Night of Beginnings A Passover Haggadah Night of Beginnings is a groundbreaking new haggadah for the Passover seder from acclaimed poet, translator, and liturgist Marcia Falk, beautifully designed and illustrated with original watercolor drawings by the author. “How lovely to have a haggadah that makes central the biblical narrative that hovers over—but is absent from—the traditional haggadah. Those familiar with Marcia Falk’s transformational work on Jewish blessings will be delighted by her new blessings for all parts of the seder, while those not yet acquainted with her blessings will find them a revelation. This is a beautiful haggadah.” —Judith Plaskow, author of Standing Again at Sinai and coauthor, with Carol P. Christ, of Goddess and God in the World “In Night of Beginnings Marcia Falk continues the brilliant, groundbreaking work she began in her Book of Blessings. Her poetic voice seamlessly combines a profoundly feminist orientation with deep reading of Jewish tradition, and her sometimes daring kavanot (directions of the heart) encourage fresh conversation to renew the seder experience for contemporary participants.” —Rabbi David Teutsch, editor of Kol Haneshamah Reconstructionist prayer books Read more about Night of Beginnings Find out how you can buy the book

	Inner East Illuminated Poems and Blessings From the author of the celebrated The Book of Blessings and The Days Between, a collection of poems and blessings accompanied by her original artwork. "Marcia Falk's poems have the lucidity of etchings and the intensity of genstones... It's always a thrill when (as rarely happens) the scholar's mind and the poet's soul come together." —Adrienne Rich, recipient of the National Book Award for Poetry "Inner East is a symbiosis of word and image in which neitehr is subservient to the other. Falk's beautiful visual images are poems in paint that do not merely illustrate her written words but illuminate them." —Mark Podwal, artist, recipient of the Foundation for Jewish Culture Achievement Award Read more about Inner East Find out how you can buy the book

	The Book of Blessings New Jewish Prayers for Daily Life, the Sabbath, and the New Moon Festival "Marcia Falk's work on Hebrew blessings is as beautiful as it is innovative; and it is innovative in the sweetest, most nourishing sense, saturated in love for the language itself (its overtones and melodies as well as its deep structures), its history, its people. Even those who do not hear the traditional liturgies as exclusionary will respond to the meticulously flowing poet's passion of Marcia Falk's wholly original contribution." —Cynthia Ozick Read more about The Book of Blessings Find out how you can buy the book
