It shows us how to use meditative techniques to enhance prayer using the traditional liturgythe Amidah and the Shema. Through simple exercises and clear explanations of theory, Rabbi Kaplan gives us the tools to develop our spiritual potential through an authentically Jewish meditative practice. Kaplan shows that meditation is consistent with traditional Jewish thought and practice.
