We Have Sinned: Sin and Confession in Judaism―<em>Ashamnu</em> and <em>Al Chet</em>

Through a series of lively introductions and commentaries, almost forty contributors from across the Jewish World examine the history of confession in Judaism, its roots in the Bible, its evolution in rabbinic and modern thought, and the very nature of confession for men and women today. This third volume in the Prayers of Awe series explores the relevance of confession today in what is bound to be the most up-to-date, comprehensive and insightful reconsideration of sin and confession in Judaism.
