A Work of Heart
A Work of Soul All humans suffer from unconscious bias; we are too close emotionally to our internal trees to see our forest with full objectivity. This lesson analyzes a slice of the life of our Matriarch Sarah, to demonstrate that the seemingly laudable might be unsound, and to reveal a G d sent solution.

A Work of Pleas Praying includes petitions, but is it impudent or heretical to seek alterations to what G‑d has given us? Why would G‑d want mortal appeals? This lesson dabbles in mysticism to identify the mechanics that make prayer effective. It defines the most favorable approach, and then we come to discover the benefits to our personal relationship with G‑d from prayers of petition.

A Work of Ascent Many attempt to pray, but struggle to generate a genuine experience. Others struggle with deciphering the structure and texts of the Jewish prayer book. This lesson exposes the brilliance, beauty, and objectives behind the prayer book ladder-like structure; and identifies the ways in which its texts coax and guide a genuine prayer experience.

A Work of Praise Jewish prayer involves singing G‑d's praises for the universe He created, but does G‑d need our acclaim? Daily? This lesson reframes our perspective on praising G‑d, unveiling the act as a beautiful bridge across the Divine space between Creator and created, and revamping our view of ourselves, our universe, and our purpose in life.

A Work of Transcendence We relate to G‑d via His interactions with us and see G‑d reflected in the miracles of nature. But can we connect in a meaningful way with G‑d Himself as He transcends the universe? This lesson reveals and explores the transcendence hardwired into the Jewish prayers, provides intense insights into our bond with G‑d, and invites us to venture beyond. Friday Mar 7th | 1:00pm | In Person Brunch Sunday, Mar 9th | 7:30pm | Zoom Class 
A Work of Synthesis Materialism and spirituality appear in conflict, but the centerpiece of Jewish prayer the Amidah that crowns each service is the apex of both Divine bonding and pleas for material needs. This lesson revolutionizes our view of material-spiritual dissonance and offers a profound and fresh appreciation for prayer, G‑d, and life on planet Earth. Friday April 4th | 1:00pm | In Person Brunch Sunday, April 6th | 7:30pm | Zoom Class 
A Work of Alliance Prayer is a deeply personal journey that includes reflection and contemplation. Why does Judaism insist on communal services, when solitude seems more conducive?
