Our Wednesday Lunch and Learn series will be a study of prayer, specifically the morning blessings (Birkhot Hashachar). The book we will be using is volume 5 of My People’s Prayer Book series.

It is recommended, but not required, to buy a copy of the book for this series. Click Here to buy the book. 

I am fascinated by the way our tradition invites us to start the day with an appreciation of our bodies, our human potential, and the ways we anticipate operating in the world. To spend time thinking about these things every morning is a profound opportunity, and even just saying a few words when rising from bed, before taking a shower or having your morning coffee, can dynamically change the energy and intention with which we encounter everything that day brings. This book also teaches the structure of daily prayer and the opportunities for prayer both at home and at the synagogue.
