Beginning Tuesday, May 14, participants in the course will study the meaning and history of Jewish prayer. Students will discover the depth and elegance of the liturgy system. The series will also address the prayer book structure and the ancient synagogue tradition of Judaism.

“The routine of daily life often pulls us in many directions,” said Rabbi Yosef Wolvovsky, course instructor. “We seldom get a chance to reflect on the purpose of our lives and our mission on earth.” The series will focus on big picture issues that really matter, says the Rabbi.
