Introduction to the Weekday Prayers
Through a careful analysis of the main sections of the weekday liturgy- birkot ha-shachar, pesukei d'zimra, the Amidah and the Shema along with its attendant berachot- we will learn to appreciate the depths of meaning contained within the siddur. We will systematically analyze the meaning and the origin of each tefillah.
