How to Pray - Lunch & Learn
2026-04-14 12:00 - 13:00 | B’nai Torah Congregation, 6261 SW 18th Street, Boca Raton, FL, 33433, United States
Join our Senior Rabbi Jack Moline for a discussion on How to Pray. So many Jews do not know how to pray. If you had a Jewish education of almost any kind, you may very well have learned to navigate the siddur, reading phonetically, chanting the melodies, becoming familiar with translations. But in a tradition like Judaism where the liturgy is set, rote recitation can be the enemy of spiritual expression. This class is not a cure for that problem – but it is a step. Come take the step.

Join Rabbi Howard Shub for a six-week course, Three Strange Books of the Bible. Beyond the Five Books of Moses, the Tanach includes writings that shape Jewish life and tradition. Three of them—Jonah, Kohelet (Ecclesiastes), and Esther—are so central that we read them on Yom Kippur, Sukkot, and Purim. But why these books, and why on these days? What meaning do they hold for us today? Join us as we explore these timeless texts and uncover why our tradition elevates them as essential to the Jewish calendar. Truly, a course that is one for the books!
