This is a t’fillah curriculum, but it will not teach students the words to prayers for B'nai Mitzvah. Instead, it will aid students in finding meaningful and lasting connections to t’fillah so they can ultimately answer the question, “Why do I pray?” This guide teaches both the keva and kavanah of t’fillah through text study, prayer analysis, interactive group activities, and unit-long assessments. 

This guide was created by Lauren Luskey, 2010 graduate of Hebrew Union College's School of Education. It was written for students studying for their B-Mitzvahs in a religious school setting (but adaptable for camps or day schools).
