given by Norman Linzer on alternate Tuesday mornings at 10:00 AM in the main shul,
beginning October 28. It will alternate with Tuesday class given by Rabbi Lehrfield. Among
the major objectives are to understand the Rav’s conception of tefillah, to utilize tefillah as a
means of developing a relationship with God, and to enhance the meaning of one’s davening.
The text is the Koren Mesorat HaravSiddur, 2012, OU Oress, which can be purchased
from Amazon for about $21. Additional handouts will be distributed. The course will be
taught seminar-style, thereby maximizing participation. Women and men are welcome.
