Words of Awe: Unpacking Prayers for the High Holy Days

  • Beit Midrash Zoom Classroom (map)

Led by Reb Irwin

The High Holy Days feature deep and memorable prayers and poetry. For many of us these words, melodies, and rhythms are in our bones – we understand the feel of these texts without knowing quite what they mean. For others of us, these prayers are all new – mysteries waiting to be opened. Join us as we explore the history, meaning, and psycho-spiritual landscape of some of the Days of Awe’s most beautiful words and listen to them in their musical settings.
