What Is The Synagogue Service All About?

Why is there such an order and service to Judaism?

Can it be meaningful and powerful – can I enjoy coming to Synagogue?


Siddur Rabbi Sherbill has been hosting a series of classes in uncovering the deeper aspects of prayer as well as giving the background to understanding the Synagogue service.

Our Goal is to go through the entire Weekday Service, Shabbos, Yuntef and the High Holidays as well. In order that we all can not only enjoy and understand what is going on in the Synagogue – but that we come away with a spiritual experience as well.


All of these classes are available on iTunes under Rabbi Sherbill’s podcasts, “Inspired Judaism, Inspired Living”.
