A LADDER TO HEAVEN: Understanding Judaism’s Central Prayer

A LADDER TO HEAVEN: Understanding Judaism’s Central Prayer With Rabbi Michael Skobac

While we may speak to the Almighty at any time in our own words, Judaism formalized the prayer experience with a set text called the Shemoneh Esrei, (The Eighteen) which is recited
every morning, afternoon and evening by observant Jews.

In this series, Rabbi Michael Skobac will explore the origins and meaning of this prayer, as well as the significance of its blessings, in the following six lectures:

  • Nov 03: The Genesis of a Prayer: Origins of the Amidah
  • Nov 10: Elements of Praise: How We Begin to Pray
  • Nov 17: Our Relationship with G-d: Wanting to Get It Right
  • Nov 24: Getting Personal: Asking for Our Basic Needs
  • Dec 01: Seeking Redemption: What the World Needs
  • Dec 08: The Depths of Thanks: Mastering Gratitude

Each week, after the presentation of a pre-recorded video lecture, Rabbi Skobac will answer participants’ questions during a LIVE Question and Answer session.

Six consecutive Tuesdays, Nov 3 – Dec 08 • 8:00 PM ET
