Tefillah Boot Camp

FACULTY: RABBI DANIEL BURG, RABBI TYLER DRATCH, YONA GORELICK SHABBAT MORNINGS: Struggle at times to keep up in services? Interested in tefillah skill-building? Want to gain better appreciation for the flow of Shabbat morning at Beth Am? In response to this year’s congregational survey, we will offer a cohort-based learning opportunity from 10:15-11:00 A.M. Our group will assemble in a parallel location as the congregation moves into the Torah Service and rejoin in time for the sermon. Each week we’ll explore a different part of the service with the goal of helping you feel more confident with the words, melodies, choreography, and rhythms of the Shabbat morning service. 

• Recordings of the material we cover will be available the week after each session to help you reinforce what we’ve learned.
• We will hold a siyyum (summation of our time together and celebration of our learning) on January 17, 2026
• Fully transliterated prayer books will be provided for those who need them
• Participants are asked to attend as regularly as possible to build on our learning and maintain group cohesion.

Be sure to mark your calendar for all class meetings: 10/4, 10/11, 10/18, 10/25, 11/8, 11/22, 12/13, 12/20, 1/17.
