Prayer in Person and on Screen: How and Why Together?  
Lois Dubin 
Tuesdays, January 6, 13, & 20, 7:00 - 8.30 pm, CBI Social Hall, in person and livestream 
An exploration of our novel experiences of online, virtual prayer in light of fundamental ideas of Jewish prayer and liturgy.  These include: (1) the basic definition of praise, petition, and gratitude; (2) the daring act of "blessing God"; (3) regular obligation vs. cry of crisis; (4) keva vs. kavvanah – fixed text vs. spontaneous intention.  Readings from classical and modern sources (Talmud, Maimonides, Nahmanides, and Soloveitchik), as well as my article "Prayer in a Time of Pandemic: Loneliness, Liturgy, and Virtual Community" (2023).
