After Kiddush T’filah Classes
A true prayer is beyond the technicalities of how we say it, and when we say it. A true prayer is a gateway that enables us to connect with the Divine. Join us for a new T’filah class series on Saturdays after Kiddush. We will deepen our prayer experience with a keen discussion and understanding of the Hebrew words and the contemporary meaning it brings to our lives. We will enhance our davening skills with new melodies and expand our knowledge of the historical and liturgical significance of the prayers.
