Grades: 4–6 T’fillati-Making Prayer Mine is a new way to help students look at personal meaning in individual prayers. While it is an important goal for learners to be able to decode liturgy and fully participate in a worship service, it is equally or even more important for worshippers to connect with the meaning of each prayer.
T’fillati-Making Prayer Mine guides students to explore personal connections to the central ideas of prayers and Torah and Midrash to help them forge connections with the words of our liturgy.
Students using T'fillati will have the opportunity to
- find ways to manifest Jewish values
- explore the concept of “brit”
- connect the choreography of the prayers with personal meaning
- consider the notion that God has always helped us and will continue to help us
- examine the apparent contrast between the Oneness of God and acknowledging that everyone will have different ideas about God
- create new versions of liturgy
- record conversations with God
The lesson "T'fillati Mi Khamokha" delves into the concept of God's power and might in the world and our trust in God. Students will explore the courageous leaps of faith that B'nai Yisrael made when they followed Moses and trusted God in crossing the Reed Sea. This lesson is full of Midrashim, which will help students reconnect with that essential historical moment and learn how to emulate B'nai Yisrael in making that first leap to freedom.
