A New Jewish Prayer Book

As the Jewish High Holy Days begin at sundown on Sunday, September 13, Jews in the Reform movement begin using the first revision in 40 years to their holiday prayer book, which now includes language more friendly to younger Jews, non-Jews, and those who identify as LGBT, as well as poetry, meditations, and artwork.
