The next Learner's Minyan will be January 4.

"Almost unintelligible to the uninitiated.” That’s how a famous judge described particularly complex federal regulations,* but it’s also how many people experience traditional Shabbat morning services.

If you’d like more inspiration and less confusion on TI’s Saturday mornings, the Learner’s Minyan may be right for you. Sessions will feature hands-on practice singing key communal prayers, as well as discussions about the nature of prayer, explorations of favorite liturgical gems, and approaches to ancient prayers that many of us find challenging intellectually or morally. No prior knowledge of Hebrew, Judaism, or prayer is required.

Ritual VP Stan Dorn be leading many of the sessions, but special guest stars will teach as well. As a result, participants will encounter a variety of perspectives on Jewish prayer.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to email Stan at TIRitual@tifereth-israel.org.
