In this interview with Alden Solovy, we try to understand the tragic story of Nadav and Avihu in the context of what it means to be a prayer leader. We also talk about creative liturgy, poetic midrash, and making the prayerbook accessible for "Jews in the pews."

And his books of liturgy and poetic midrash are available at https://www.ccarpress.org/.
