Prayer laboratory

Naftali Moses 

Red 8

To whom do we talk when we pray? For whom do we pray? Is joyful prayer the same as that born of dire need? We will spend a long session studying texts together and experimenting with applying what we learned from them in order to discover deeper ways of addressing the Divine using traditional liturgy.
