To Pray as One
Overview
In this class we'll explore and talk about the role of the individual in Tefillah. How is prayer on my own fundamentally different than prayer in community? Is there room for me to pray as an individual when I'm in community? How do I build a personal relationship with God through prayer? How can I express myself most fully in prayer?
This class will bring together different teachers to teach about different aspects of how we can tailor the experience of Tefillah to our individual selves and bring more meaning, focus and connection to our prayer lives.
