Rabbi Mordechai Kaplan\, the founder of Reconstructionist Judaism\, taught that there are a lot of good ways to be a good Jew. \;Prayer is one of these. \; But how do you get started – particularly if traditional Jewish prayers feel alien or alienating?
In this facilitated discussion\, we’ll look together at what prayers (traditional and modern) have meant to us\; ideas from the Jewish tradition about what prayer can and cannot do\; how to respond when a bat kol (an inner voice) seems to be calling you to prayer\, and you’re not sure how to respond\; and ways to begin making prayers a meaningful and manageable part of daily life.
Whether prayer feels familiar or unfamiliar to you\, comfortable or uncomfortable\, known or mysterious – come join us for a Shabbat afternoon nosh and discussion. \; No prior knowledge of Hebrew\, Jewish prayer practice\, or particular belief about prayers and praying is required – just curiosity and openness to seeing what might happen.
