Prayer provides a means to express gratitude. Prayer can be silent. Prayer can be communal. Prayer expresses our deepest needs and appreciation.

​

This course follows the development of prayer, from the Tabernacle in the wilderness of Sinai, to the Temple in Jerusalem, to the synagogue of today. It also explores concepts behind prayer and blessings, as well as the power of meditation, as we link our past, present, and future to the immediate and transcendent. This is a journey of the soul—start today.
