Exploring Prayer with Rabbi Levy: A Deep Dive Into the Siddur | Session 5 Thursday December 2 at 9:30 AM LIVE Though we often don't think about it, the Jews interact with the siddur more than any other book in Jewish tradition. In previous centuries, if a Jewish family had a book in their home, chances are it was a siddur, where they recorded birthdays, yahrzeits, and brought in Shabbat and special occasions. Join Rabbi Levy as he continues his exploration of prayer by diving deep into the Siddur (prayerbook) on Kol Ami's website, Facebookand YouTube pages.
Shabbat Awakening Service Saturday, December 4 at 10:00 AM Our monthly Shabbat Awakening Service in-person and online. Come in-person, or watch the live stream on Kol Ami's Facebook page, YouTube Channel, and temple website.
Ta'am Ivrit (A Taste of Hebrew) Wednesday, December 8 at 6:30 PM Join Rabbi Levy for a beginners' crash course on the Hebrew language. The class will primarily focus on the Hebrew we find in the prayerbook and Jewish ritual spaces, but will include examples from Modern Hebrew as well.REGISTER HERE
