Curriculum
Tefilah (Prayer)
8 - 12

This curriculum guide will help students to answer the following questions: How does one pray? What does it mean to pray? How can I connect to something if I don’t know what I am saying? What if I don’t actually believe the words that are written in the prayer book? In the end, students will be able to answer the question, “Why pray?” in a way that is meaningful for them, and will allow them to contextualize the prayers we say every day and find a way to make these ancient words relevant to their lives today.
