Home Sweet Jewish Home

_Gates of the House_ gathers in one volume the vast bulk of Jewish prayers and rituals for places other than the sysngogue. The translations into English will suit most English speakers, but those who prefer Hebrew as the language of prayer and home ritual will probably find _Gates of the House_ wanting. Non-Jews who want a richer spiritual life at home might consider useing this prayer book as a point of departure from which to create home rituals for their own faith. Non-Jews interested in the _Pesach Seder_ service should consult a _Haggadah;_ that service has long since become substantial enough to require its own prayer book.
