Creating Davening Experiences

Catalog description

The Talmud teaches us that any prayer that is fixed is not true prayer, one interpretation of which is that our prayers should have a personal component to them. How does one develop a personal prayer style and how does that translate into serving as a shaliah tzibur? Using sacred texts, contemporary readings and workshop- style activities, we will examine how to think about and craft a prayer service in your own style, relying on your own skill sets and interests. This course will fulfill part of the Tefillah and Seminar course requirement.
