Learners’ Service on Saturday
September 23rd, 2009 by emeth
Dear Friends,
Our Shabbat Morning Task Force has prepared a preliminary report on how we can invigorate our Shabbat programming and involve more people in the beauty of Shabbat morning worship. When it comes to Saturday morning worship when there is no Bar or Bat Mitzvah, the Task Force spoke with one voice, saying, “More variety, more interactivity, more innovation!”
Our service this Saturday seeks to offer just that. Inspired by the potential inherent in the New Year, I hope you will attend services this Saturday, which is Shabbat Shuvah (the Shabbat between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur).
With best wishes for a sweet new year,
–Rabbi Steven Sirbu
Learner’s Service on Shabbat Shuvah
Saturday, September 26 at 10:30 a.m.
Do we pray differently between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur? In fact we do. The words of our prayers are different to reflect our theology and yearnings at this season. More importantly, at such an emotional and spiritual time of year, the nature of our prayers may be different too. At this service we will address the differences—both literal and spiritual—and discuss how to make the most of prayer at this time of year.T
Temple Emeth will be presenting a special Learner’s Service this Saturday, September 26, at 10:30 a.m. The topic is, do we pray differently between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur? The words of our prayers are different to reflect our theology and yearnings at this season. More importantly, at such an emotional and spiritual time of year, the nature of our prayers may be different too. At this service we will address the differences—both literal and spiritual—and discuss how to make the most of prayer at this time of year.
