Kavannah Initiative: Radical Exploration in Jewish Prayer
Are you bored,confused and intimidated at services?
Do you find yourself sitting there thinking, "I don't believe any of this?"
The Kavannah Initiative is an intellectual open discussion group for modern thinking people who want to figure out what all of the prayers actually mean.
About the Kavannah Initiative:
This PAID Fellowship meets once a week for 5 weeks and we will go through the major prayers unlocking their history and struggling to figure out what they actually mean.
We will be focusing on the questions like, "Do these words actually mean something to me today?" "Do I have to take it all literally to be a good Jew?"
