Join acclaimed liturgist Alden Solovy on a spiritual journey to deepen your core understanding of prayer and to expand your writing skills for creating new Jewish liturgy. This workshop series – blending source study, discussion, in-class writing exercises, and small group feedback sessions – will be mystical, playful, and practical. The course is designed to be accessible for individuals of all levels of knowledge about Jewish prayer and the Siddur. This workshop will encourage experimentation, challenging participants to find their own authentic voice(s) of prayer.
All sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.
