Swartz and Yahalom have produced a clear, readable version complete with excellent bibliographic aids. --M. Butovsky, Choice

Kindle Jewish Book Bargain: Avodah - Ancient Poems for Yom Kippur edited - The dead tree edition of the book is $65.95 at Amazon but... the Kindle edition is $9.99.
The rich and informative introduction is worth the price of the book. And if you are teaching a course on the "Liturgy of the Days of Awe," then you must have this book.
In the Kindle edition the Hebrew follows the English, they do not line up side-by-side, and that may account for the discount. Just guessing.

8 long poems, all written (probably in Israel) about 1600 years ago, describing the service of the High Priest of the Temple in Jerusalem (destroyed in 70). These poems reminds us that even after a few hundred years, the Temple sacrifices were still part of the Jewish collective memory to a greater extent than today. In addition, the poems' positive description of the High Priest suggests that the Temple priesthood was still more prestigious than some Jewish literature might suggest.
