Birkat Hamazon: The Choose Your Own Adventure Prayer of Thanks 1 of 3
Monday, December 4, 2023 • 21 Kislev 5784
10:00 AM - 11:00 AMLibrary3 Mondays: December 4, 11 & 18
With Debra Ackerman
One of the delights of kiddush lunch is adding your voice or listening to the voices of others during Birkat Hamazon (Grace After Meals). Journey through this prayer of thanksgiving as we follow its many winding paths, exploring the ways the words can be adapted to the calendar and seasons, our joys and sorrows, and even the table we are sitting at and who is sitting with us?
This class will focus on the "why do we" of the prayer, rather than the "how-to" of the prayer.
