PRAYER

The school offers classes in Tefila on all grade levels. The content is divided into separate segments so as to ensure that students will learn the most important aspects of Tefila.

One segment discusses the overall pu rposes of Tefila. A second segment examines the various laws relating to Tefila, the purpose of which is to enable students to engage in prayer with full effectiveness. A third segment analyzes the text of many of the most important prayers. The goal here is to provide students with a deeper understanding of their prayers and thus add greater meaning to their Tefila. Moreover, the various major principles of Judaism which stem from the Tefila are studied.
