More than the Talmud, the Mishna, or even the Torah, the Siddur (Jewish Prayer Book) is the text that Jews come into contact with more than any other. But while it is the most frequently handled, it is also the least known and the least studied. In this three-week course, we will survey the history and development of the siddur and examine the building blocks of which it is composed, particularly as they pertain to the Shabbat service. Whether you are a beginner or a well-seasoned synagogue-goer, you will gain new insights into the structure of the “people’s book.”

“Our Service Continues on Page 148,” a three-part session running March 12, 19 and 26, is part of NightShul, EMJC’s Thursday-evening learning and social series. $15 per-evening admission; each three-course series is $30 for EMJC members and $36 for non-members.
