“Bored, Bothered and Bewildered – The Prayer Service Doesn’t Do It For Me”
3 In-person Sessions with Rabbi Katz: Tuesday, November 19, December 3 & 10
Billions of people on this planet pray every day. They are hoping to connect to the Creator of Life. Obviously, they find great benefit in the discipline of prayer. The “Regulars” at services seemed to have found their spiritual home. Yet for many, the language of the prayer book feels foreign and archaic even though familiar melodies can whisper, beckon and draw one close. This year will it be tedium or transformation, boredom or the building of belief? In this three-part series we will learn about the meaning behind the prayers and the strategies developed through the centuries to build a relationship with the Creator of All Being. It is possible for prayer to come alive for everyone. This class is being offered in-person and online.

Learning Breakfast with Rabbi Katz: The Amen Effect by Rabbi Sharon Brous
In-person, Sunday, November 24 - 9:15am
In her book The Amen Effect, Rabbi Sharon Brous eloquently teaches us to “err on the side of presence.” We need to be present for those around us… for our family, for our friends, for strangers. Rabbi Brous writes with passion and intelligence and one reads her words in the same direct, close relationship she asks us to have with people in our lives. Sometimes a writer is able to take a simple human truth and make us see it in new and powerful ways. Rabbi Brous is a gifted writer and her humanity is present in every page of her book. You’ll be inspired.
