OUR PRAYERBOOK (II)
– Words and Chants As We Let Them Flow

The Siddur challenges reflections on the nature of prayer and the purpose of organized religious service. Why can we not just talk to God in spontaneous ways? I am stunned by the religious wisdom that comes through the structure of the service. The combination of emotional prayer and logical alignment gives me both joyful wings and sturdy legs.
