Siddur Skills – How to Open the Jewish Prayer Book and Know What’s Going On

Join Rabbi Sass for a four-part workshop with Ammud, February 4th through 25th, on the structure of the Jewish prayerbook, with focus on the key daily prayers, and the differences for Shabbat and holidays. We’ll study the arc of a service, and traditional understandings of the core tefilot (prayers). Come away with a better orientation to the siddur, so you can open the prayerbook in diverse congregations and have a sense of what’s happening.
