We will study the structure, choreography, and meaning of various prayers recited/sung during Kabbalat Shabbat (Friday evening service). Learn how those prayers fit into the arc of the service, as well as when and why we stand, sit, and bow. 
Each class will focus on different prayers including Lecha Dodi, Psalm 92, Barchu, Ahavat Olam, Hashkiveinu, the Shema, the Kaddish, Amidah, Aleinu, and Adon Olam. ​ Jill Minkoff, who has explored the meaning of Jewish prayer and worship through illustration, will be joining us for several of the sessions. She is an active member of the Jewish community interested in spirituality and meaningful prayer. Knowledge of Hebrew is NOT required. This is a virtual only class.
