Adult Education with Rabbi Safman & Rabbi Brody
Halakha and the Art of Communal Prayer
For more than two thousand years the Jewish world has been trying to understand what makes prayer “work”, not just as an exercise for the individual reaching towards God, but for a group of people doing so in tandem. In this class we will explore the ways in which Jewish laws relating to prayer serve (counterintuitively) as the basis for community-building, providing a framework within which worshippers of diverse backgrounds and needs can come together to engage in a meaningful spiritual exercise.
