Fridays, ongoing

9:15am Eastern || 4:15pm Israel (Please note that on March 14 and 21 this class will take place at 3:15 pm Israel time due to the time change)

Observant Jews can spend more than an hour a day davening. But we tend to spend much less time focusing on what we say than why we say it. In this series we will explore the meaning of our tefillot; its sources, development, layers of meaning and other interesting items that will hopefully elevate our tefillot.

During the Winter 2025 we will be studying the Amidah.
