Balance Between Prayer and Personal Effort - Preparing for HH Days with Morah Yehudis Fishman
Sunday, August 13, 2017 • 21 Av 5777
4:00 PM - 5:30 PMNK Library
The Talmud states that all of one's earnings are decided on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. How should we think of and express our prayers on HH to maximize meeting our individual needs? What is the purpose of prayer all year around, if it's already decided on HH? Using Chassidic teachings as the source of discussion, we will explore these questions as we prepare for the upcoming High Holy Days.
Two separate classes, August 13 & 27. The second class builds on the first, but you may register for either or both.
Cost: NK members $15 for each class; Non-members $18 for each class.
