LIT 5005 Worship Lab
Worship Lab encompasses the t'filah programme for the Year in Israel. We will come together on Sunday and Thursday mornings for shacharit, and Tuesday afternoons for minchah to pray together and explore the art, craft, and skill of being a prayer leader, a sh'liach/at tsibbur. Students will practice and reflect on their leading of basic weekday reform shacharit (including service for reading the Torah) and minchah services, with an understanding of the central and peripheral aspects of t'filah. This includes competence in leading weekday nusach and congregational musical prayer, and writing and delivering appropriate kavanot/iyunim. Students will also be encouraged to develop their personal prayer practice, to reflect upon this practice, and to appreciate a diverse range of t'filot.
