My Favorite Prayer is…
With Rabbi Joel Rembaum
Meeting Mondays at 7:30 PM
What is your Favorite Prayer? Why do you find it meaningful?
You are invited to join other “Prayer Aficionados” in sharing your spirituality with us. The prayers you bring to the class will constitute our curriculum. We will first read each prayer together, then you will tell us why the prayer moves you. As our discussion progresses, Rabbi Rembaum will offer additional observations.
For our first meeting, please be prepared to briefly answer the two questions noted above. As the prayers are presented, a list will be made up, and, as noted, we will follow that list.
A prayer should be of a substantial length, so its content fully expresses the prayer’s message. Prayers can come from the Shabbat/Holiday or Weekday Siddurim, or the High Holiday Mahzor. They can be blessings that are elements of the larger prayer structures, prayers that praise or supplicate God, liturgical poems (piyyutim), Psalms, etc. We will study the prayers in English; fluency in Hebrew, while helpful, is not necessary.
Our first Zoom meeting will be on Monday evening, November 16, 2026, from 7:30-9:00 PM. We will meet thereon for as many times as there are prayers. We will not meet on holidays, during vacation times, or when there is a major TBA event. Maximum enrollment is 20 people.
May Our Lessons Be Spiritual and Spirited, and May the Eternal One Bless Our Blessings….Amen.
