Alden Solovy

With unbound enthusiasm for Torah and prayer, Alden Solovy is a passionate teacher/preacher. His energy emanates from deep faith forged by the fire of personal loss. A liturgist, poet, and lyricist, his work resonates with people of many faiths throughout the world. Offering a fresh Jewish voice, his work challenges the boundaries between poetry, meditation, personal growth, storytelling, teaching, and prayer.

Alden's work includes a trilogy of poetic prayer books — This Grateful Heart: Psalms and Prayers for a New Day, This Joyous Soul: A New Voice for Ancient Yearnings, and This Precious Life: Encountering the Divine with Poetry and Prayer, all from CCAR Press — examining sacred time, sacred word, and sacred encounter. His recent book, These Words: Poetic Midrash on the Language of Torah, is the 2023 Silver Medal winner in the category of spiritual/inspirational from the Independent Book Publishers Association.

A native Chicagoan, Alden Solovy made aliyah to Israel in 2012, where he enjoys hiking, writing, teaching and learning. .
