Course Info
In this course, you, along with your instructor Dr. Eli Lizorkin-Eyzenberg, will journey through 19 blessings of the core Jewish prayer commonly called the Amidah. With characteristic passion and attention to detail, your instructor will lead the class into a deeper devotional experience highlighting many points of contact between the Amidah, Lord's Prayer and the teachings of the Apostles. Each section of this ancient Jewish prayer will be re-translated directly from Hebrew, so those members of our learning community who either had some Hebrew or have at least memorized the alphabet will be able to double the blessing received as the result of taking this mini-course. No prior knowledge of Hebrew, however, is necessary to take this fascinating study that will both inform and transform your prayer life.

Posted 1 day agoThis is a prayer from the people to God. We definitely hear the highlights, the emphases of the prayer. This recital teaches us , or shows the listeners the proper way to pray . -

Posted 1 month agoVery engaging and interesting - the pace is super fast so it's difficult to remember, or even follow, all the pronunciations (I think it's supposed to be 'ah' and turns out it's 'eh'...and I can't determine why with the vowels in front of me. I'm thankful to get this far and tears flow as I learn the language of God and his people, with gratitude. -
