Tuesdays, 7:15-8:30pm - Aug 22, 29; Sept 5, 12, 2017 Co-taught by Rabbi Bernard Gerson and Marlene Richter Cost: $40 (includes all study materials, refreshments, and the special lecture during Week 2) Each session will be preceded by Minyan on the Move in the lobby from 6:30-7:15pm We will examine a short set of texts (e.g. Kaddish, Kedusha) that bear intrinsic holiness through their reputation and their parlance. Participants will utilize their Hebrew language skills in addition to the discussion of themes and context. Transliteration is available for those who are newer to Hebrew literacy. Session One: Introduction to the Concept of Kedusha: How are divrei kedusha more elevated in nature than the rest of the tefilot? Which prayers require a special context and choreography (e.g. minyan, standing)? What are the different versions of Kaddish? Texts: Weekday & Shabbat Kedusha versions, Kaddish Please contact Rabbi Gerson (Rabbi.Gerson@rodef-shalom.org) with your questions.
