A New Perspective

I came into the program thinking I was only interested in the political and service aspects of JAM. I have now learned that the daily Judaism has become important to me. Discussing specific prayers in the learner’s service of Kavannah, discussing the identity of God in covenant groups, and singing nigguns all throughout the day has been new and exciting for me. I have become more aware of my Jewish identity and I would love to learn as much as possible about prayer and Jewish teachings in the next few weeks.
