Sun, Mar 1, 7:00 pm	How to Find Your Way Through the Siddur (Prayer Book) -- Second Session Led by Barry Nostradamus Sher and Iris Korman Don't know where you are in the prayer book? Can't find your place when you arrive late? Does the whole service seem like a jumble of Hebrew with no structure or rationale? This brief course will address these problems.

In this, our second session, we'll go over the structure of the Jewish prayer service in detail (complete with colorful charts!). When: Sunday, Mar 1, 7:00 pm. Please come on time.
