Exploring Prayer in the Month of Elul Thursday, August 12 at 9:30 AM Prayer is not an innate gift or hereditary trait, it is a spiritual skill that, like a muscle or instrument, requires practice, repetition, and discovery. Starting August 12, on the four Thursdays that lead up to Rosh Hashanah, Rabbi Ross Levy will lead via Facebook and YouTube Live, a series of warm-ups for our praying selves, so we don’t go into the HHD cold, but already on the path of reflection, repentance, and an openness to crafting who we wish to be in the coming year.
