Exploring the Machzor: A deep dive into the language, meaning, music, and origins of our prayers
Shabbat, Aug 9th 5:30p to 7:00p
Join Rabbi Rosen and Rabbi Zerin for this final session that includes light dinner/Seudah Shleesheet, learning, and zemirot/Shabbat songs. We will take a deep dive into one or two of the prayers in our Machzor (High Holiday prayer book), exploring topics such as the meaning of the prayer, the way it functions in the service, the different biblical and rabbinic texts that it quotes or refers to, new and traditional musical settings for the prayer, ways that music enhances the meaning of the text, and the history of how the prayer came to be a fixture in our prayerbook. Adults and teens of all backgrounds are welcome to join; no prior knowledge of Hebrew or the Machzor is necessary. Light dinner will be served RSVP required (click in to register!) $10 suggested donation per person
