Drawing upon classical Jewish sources, it presents the key daily and Sabbath prayers - as well as prayers for many daily activities such as eating and traveling - in classical Hebrew, transliteration and a new English translation. It describes Bikur Choliim, the ethical practice of visiting the sick, and presents the classical Jewish prayers for the sick. It also includes Chasidic stories about the power of prayer. Stairway to Heaven attempts to answer all of the key questions relating to the history and significance of this core Jewish practice.
