    • Judaism

The Pardes Center for Jewish Educators is proud to produce this podcast series to support and inspire tefilah education. Rabbi Zvi Hirschfield, Pardes faculty member, leads a panel of veteran educators in an invigorating discussion of how to make prayer relevant to young people. Using a menu of tefilah goals, created as part of the Pardes Tefilah Education Initiative, each educator explores each episode’s prayer through a lens of either Connecting to God, Developing a Sense of Jewish Community, or Cultivating Personal Growth.

In our third episode, Zvi Hirschfield is joined by PCJE Faculty members Sefi K***t and Reuven Margrett as they delve into the first three brachot of the Amidah. They explore the key themes of those brachot: tribal affiliation, reviving the dead, and holiness, through the perspectives of different tefilah goals - connecting to the community, God, and personal development - in order to conjure up more meaningful and engaging tefilah experiences for young people.



In this episode: Rabbi Zvi Hirschfield, Aviva Lauer Golbert and Rabbi Reuven Margrett.
