Finding Your Personal Decoder Ring: How to Find Contemporary Meaning in Ancient Prayers — Text-based learning

This course will help people who struggle to make meaning out of formal prayer experiences. We will explore different ways to unpack the often challenging, ancient and opaque language of Jewish prayer in order to gain a kind of “decoder” ring that will help participants discover new meaning, relevance, and accessibility when it comes to Jewish prayer and reading any ancient Jewish text.
