Jewish Prayer: עבודה שבלב
Exploring the delicate balance between private prayer and membership in the prayer community of כלל ישראל
About this course
Tefilah - Jewish prayer - is at one and the same time an intensely private experience as well as a portal to the centuries-old relationship between God and Israel. This course - drawn from the first daf of the fourth perek/chapter of Masechet Berachot - explores the halachic expression of this delicate balance.
Ten crisp, clear shiurim take the learner through each step of this foundational sugyah. Complete with multiple-choice quizzes after every shiur and Quizlet vocabulary reviews after most shiurim. All video shiurim and course materials are downloadable for your convenience! This course is an excellent addition to any yeshiva high-school curriculum.
