Still Small Voices: Davvening as Jewish Spiritual Practice: “Making the Mahzor Your Own,” with Rabbi Hammerman

Jews spend LOTS of hours — especially during Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur — reciting ancient prayers. Maybe during those long hours you wonder what you’re doing. Does God hear? Or exist? Might some other activity be more useful? 

During the month of Elul, as Rosh HaShanah approaches, please join AC’s clergy to explore how we can make our prayer meaningful. Be not afraid!  No honest question or proposed answer is out of bounds. Yael, Natasha and Jeremy will facilitate conversations among us, and will share what works for them. All sessions will meet at 7:30 on the Tuesday and Thursday evenings of Elul.

Try as we might to stay “with the kahal” and “on the right page” of the Mahzor, sometimes… our thoughts drift and our eyes wander. How can we navigate these moments during tefilah? Where in the Mahzor can we turn to help us refocus our mind and our heart? What other modalities might we tap into, during our High Holiday “tefilah time” (either in shul, or this year for some — at home) in order to make the Mahzor our own?
