The term shaliach tzibbur literally means "an agent of the community", and it is the term we use for a prayer leader. In large synagogues it is common for a rabbi or cantor to lead the services these days, but traditionally different members of the community might lead services every week. In smaller communities that can't afford a rabbi, leading services may feel daunting. This class will help prepare you to confidently lead services.

This year long course is aimed at both Jews who wish that they'd gotten more of a Jewish education growing up and those who are interested in going through a conversion process with a rabbi. We cover Jewish history, culture, belief, and practice, along with reading Hebrew for Jewish prayer. Over the course of the year students learn about and experience a full cycle of Jewish holidays.
