Rabbi Jay Kelman

Fridays, ongoing

9:25am Eastern || 4:25pm Israel 

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.

In Winter 2026, we will be discussing the conclusion of the Shacharit service: Ashrei - Shir shel Yom
