Prayer in Rabbinic Literature Database

This data base is the result of an ongoing project run by Prof. Uri Ehrlich of the Goldstein-Goren department of Jewish Thought at Ben Gurion University of the Negev. The Prayer in Rabbinic Literature Database was created to promote the study of Jewish liturgy and to enable researchers and students alike to investigate prayer-related rabbinic texts per various rubrics. This developing database enables retrieval of sources according to: * liturgical categories and settings, both statutory and spontaneous; * the historical strata of rabbinic literature, according to specific book or according to person(s) named in a tradition; * subject categories.
