Prayer sustains me, prayer grounds and guides me, and so often I turn to prayer for comfort, hope and courage.This series will explore prayer as sacred medicine that can nourish, calm and direct our minds/hearts/souls.

Using the ma’ariv (evening service) as a gateway, we will listen into the meaning of specific prayers and explore the wisdom within the structure and texts of the liturgy.

The ma’ariv service, called by the tradition, the service of emuna (faith), brings us into the heart, helping us to experience prayer as intention, relationship, offering, challenge and promise.

Engaging a mystical and practical lens we will explore how we can develop and stay true to a prayer practice that will lift and guide us.
